Just get a good one, because as someone sorta in the know in the security industry..... the cheap kind hooked up to a phone line, all a burglar has to do is rip the panel off the wall right there.
Our house has a battery backup for 3 days and an unbreakable cellular line along with all the ADT cameras.
We also replaced Ring with a Google doorbell and like that more.

I get soooo much junk mail it's 95% garbage, but yes bank statements and such. Not like they could get any of the money out though.
Back OT, that is that Lincoln. I was behind one today and as pointed out the side marker lights in the rear are a dead giveaway.

no, they wash the amounts and ‘to’ info off of checks they steal and make it out to themselves or someone else. It’s done regularly

So, folks told to not leave outgoing checks in mailbox with flag up, take to post office. Then this: Theft Know one of the guys in this story as well.

Yeah I always take sensitive mail into the post office and leave inside. Although I do admit I put up the flag on my mailbox sometimes (with nothing in it) to see if I can get daytime video of any thieves. We don’t get it that often luckily, last time was a couple years ago. We’ve got 6 cameras outside, but mailbox is located in a difficult spot to get a decent camera angle for license plates.
You do what you can do, also have monitored alarm, guns, credit and dark web monitoring service alerts, security freeze on credit since we don’t have any needs to add new credit, etc. but somebody will still get ya eventually. Just have to be as diligent as you can and not make it easy.

Losing a mail key is a serious thing, it gives someone access to basically all mailboxes in an area, they are very carefully guarded. Like we’ve talked about lots of harm can be done to people when you have access to their mail, especially sent mail.
It seems crazy that in this day and age a key like that would be so important but it is.
Here’s a WP article about it
