“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to let you know that I went to the 11th and R st NW USPS blue mailbox and someone put adhesive in the top of the mailbox. It wasn’t extremely visible but my mail got stuck multiple times and I had to pry it off. I luckily caught this and was able to try to shove my mail in (took 4 tries) but it looks as though someone is trying to steal mail and I wanted to make sure people are aware to double check to see if their mail actually gets placed in mailboxes.”
Ed. Note: We’ve spoken about receiving mail troubles here.
