I bought one a while back because I was having issues with missing mail, found out that you can put your hand in the top and get the mail out if you hand is skinny.I see all kinds on the net who knew that they could pay $799.99 and up
for a mail box,I should re[port them but they are family and know I won't if it comes down to it,so disgusted by all this Linda
1|1|You can get a box thst locks but then you have to take all your mail to the po to mail.my grand aughter had to get one.I think they are about $70 at Lowes.|greenthumbs|greenthumbs@charter.net|18:30:00|11/19/2010|
Maybe need to check tha tout.they can't get their hands in the opening. 2|2|that sounds like the one I got from Lowes|LindaOh|Martinl3@roadrunner.com|19:06:11|11/19/2010|
it cost $79.99 I also didn't think you could put your hand in it but you can if you have small hands 3|1|A mouse trap is cheaper....put that sucker in the mail box and let them reach their hand in there! |saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|19:06:56|11/19/2010|

5|1|where is your mailbox located?|sdoty|sdoty17@hotmail.com|19:52:48|11/19/2010|
Is it wall mounted on your house, or is it on a post at the end of the drive?

6|2|do you need one that's ok for outgoing mail too? or is incoming only an option?|sdoty|sdoty17@hotmail.com|20:00:37|11/19/2010|

when the mailman puts the mail in it would set it off they wait till we are not home to get in the box, my box is out by the road and they are taking my rebate checks, maybe I could set the trap after the mail runs thought of putting red paint on a piece of paper and catching them red handed lol if it didn't get all over my mail.
the one I have has a clip for out going mail I would like one like that I guess I am going to have to go to a bigger city and find one that I can look at. I ordered the one I have from Lowes on line, it is so aggravating to do these rebates and then have the stolen Linda
9|4|Invest in a camera. My milk lady just had to do this, and they were caught and being prosecuted|driller|harj@frontier.com|20:51:37|11/19/2010|
Was two 16 year old girls. One was already on probation. They are both sitting in jail, and have to pay
restitution. She invested in the wireless camera , which was hooked up directly to her PC in her house.
She not only has the one, but put in a second one, but you would only need the one in view of your mailbox.

~Judy in MI~ 15|5|Use a web cam ... they are pretty cheap|lwhphd|loretta.harvey.phd@frontier.com|23:38:20|11/19/2010|
and do a good job.
I have a friend who used one to find out who was damaging/stealing his deer stand/s ... worked like a charm too! 7|2|MailBoss link inside|sdoty|sdoty17@hotmail.com|20:16:01|11/19/2010|
I haven't done a lot of research or anything, but this brand looks like it might be worth checking out, and they're not crazy expensive or anything:

10|1|If I had this problem.....|Sharon|corvettelady@lavabit.com|20:59:43|11/19/2010|
with missing mail/people taking rebate checks, etc., I would rent a p.o. box - no more worries with people taking your mail. JMO, Sharon:) 11|1|Here's an idea.....have your mail held for a week, put the mousetrap in there, and make sure you are gone a couple times during that time....when one of your family members shows up with a broken finger or bruised up hand, you'll know it was them.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|21:26:45|11/19/2010|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
12|2|might try that I'm about ready to give up refunding|LindaOh|Martinl3@roadrunner.com|22:28:57|11/19/2010|
Linda 13|3|u can get an insert type thing that turns a regular mailbox into a lock one......thats what i have|couponsnsamples|cpsnsamples@aol.com|23:33:46|11/19/2010|
u slip it in.....screw the metal pieces down as directed.....and it works perfectly.....and u cannot get your hands in...at the top..theres a small space to lay outgoing mail...it comes with a couple keys...only..bad thing the slot isnt very large...so if u get package or whatever ..it wont fit inside......
i just put a note on the inside of my mailbox....right above the slot.......that says...please put ANYTHING THAT WILL FIT IN THE SLOT....IN..THE SLOT....
they had a tendancy to fold magazines with stuff inside...and just lay it in the out going slot...because they were tooooo lazy to take a min to slide stuff inside 14|1|I think Lowes has one ...|lwhphd|loretta.harvey.phd@frontier.com|23:35:50|11/19/2010|
that the mail falls down a chute to the bottom.
You use a key to open the bottom side door to retrieve your mail.
Hope this helps.
