Denver residents say thieves are using stolen key to steal mail, but USPS isn’t changing the lock



John Kingdon estimates he’s had thousands of dollars worth of merchandise stolen from his mailbox in the last year and a half.

Sam, who lives 15 minutes down the road from John and asked 9NEWS not to use her last name, said a recent string of fraudulent purchases on her credit card made her realize her mailbox has been picked through for months.

They both called Steve On Your Side as frustrations in their neighborhoods grow over ongoing theft from their Central Park cluster mailboxes – theft they say the USPS isn’t doing enough about.

  1. How do we know this ‘stolen key’ thing isn’t an intentional act by DeJoy to lessen the popularity of the USPS? Creating less pushback when Trump privatizes it as yet another way to enrich the elite at our expense.

  2. Here's an idea! Maybe go back to delivering mail to people's homes!
    Even if it couldn't be done permanently, you know, like we pay for, they could do it until they finish designing the new electronic boxes. They could also add surveillance. Permanently affix cameras both outside and inside the boxes, then impose very harsh penalties and enforce them!

  3. For those wondering why they can't change the locks they are essentially secured in permanently as per government regulations for a outside lock to prevent thieves from sneaking the lock out to figure out the pin sizes to sneakily make their own master key.

  4. USPS Customer: "A postal worker was robbed at gun point in our neighborhood and the master key was stolen."
    USPS: "What is the problem?"
    USPS Customer: "My mail is being stolen and thieves are using my credit cards."
    USPS: "What do you want us to do?"
    USPS Customer: "Replace the locks."
    USPS: "Your locks aren't broken."
