Mailboxes With A Bite In Them

Do you think these "teeth-link contraptions" will really avert mailbox theft in high risk cities?

I thought public mail boxes were discontinued after the antrax scare?

We still have them all over my city.

I have them all over my city, too. (No teeth-like contraptions in them, though.)

In fact, my local post office has a small island where three drive-up mailboxes are located. They are nearly always full, especially on Fridays/Saturdays ... so full that you need to carefully select what mailbox you use, as some are so full that a thief could easily pull out dozens of letters if they had a mind to.

This situation suggests that the post office needs to arrange for pickups more often (but that will never happen.)

The caption below the image states "postal service said it installed the choppers to make sure thieves don't steal meal". Apparently they're going for food too.

I call my local post office and they advised me they were taken away after Katrina and finally replaced a couple years ago in New Orleans area. They gave me a web address to see where a blue bos is located any hwere in America at:

just have to enter zip code. -Nice

That would make way too much sense so the USPS won't do it.
