Don’t Be A Victim of Mail Theft
Crime always increases around the holidays and authorities advise residents to ensure the safety of your mail and identity.
· Always check mail regularly.
· Arrange for family or a trusted neighbor to check your mail if you're going out of town, or register with the post office to put a hold on your mail.
· Shred junk mail because thieves can still access your information on it.
· Report any potential mail theft to your post office.
· Place cameras visible in the front of your house pointed at your mailbox.
