Many blue freestanding mailboxes across Northeast Ohio have been taped shut to prevent people from putting their mail inside after a rash of mailbox thefts from the boxes
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Thieves have targeted freestanding blue mailboxes throughout Northeast Ohio, forcing local post offices to tape boxes shut to prevent future thefts.
“What kind of lowlife dirtbag steals people’s mail,” said Cleveland Councilman Mike Polensek, who sent out an email blast to warn his North Collinwood residents. “I had a lady who said, ‘Councilman, I don’t have a car. I walk to the blue box right around from house and, like I said, I put three pieces of mail in there last week and now I’m worried as to whether or not it’s going to get delivered.
Yusuf Tikici walked up to the mailbox outside the University Circle Post Office and realized he couldn’t deposit mail outside because of the thefts. “That is a solution for security because the Postal Service, our packages are our privacy,” said Tikici. “That’s a problem for everybody.”“The US Postal Inspection Service is aware of the recent blue box thefts in Cleveland and is actively working the matter with our local law enforcement partners...he Inspection Service is extremely confident in the direction of the investigation.”
