“Dear PoPville,
came across this stash of mail at the bus stop on the corner of 24th and Pennsylvania NW. Reported it to 311/non emergency. Wonder if it’s connected to all the stolen mail in Adams Morgan…”
alert via US Postal Inspection Service
Thanks to Jax for writing about an alert from US Postal Inspection Service:
“Do you think this is related to stealing checks? I can’t imagine USPS would go after someone stealing packages. It must be really bad if USPS is actually getting involved?
‘WANTED: We’re offering up to $100K reward for info leading to the arrest & conviction of suspect who has been stealing mail from apartment buildings in the Adams Morgan area of northwest Washington, DC from October 2023 to present.'” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Thanks to M. for sending: “”Mailbox getting removed from the corner of 11th and Irving St, NW.”
Anyone else notice/see mailboxes getting removed? If so, what neighborhood are you in?
“Dear PoPville,
I mailed a check to DC Office of Tax and Revenue. The check was intercepted and altered on the payee line, paid to order of an individual. Which Law Enforcement agencies will help investigate and recover the funds? My bank is physically located in San Francisco. Thank you.”
“Dear PoPville,
This large envelope was delivered to us late last year, and even though there is no “Benjamin C. Evans” who has lived at this address (at least since 2015) and I wrote “not at this address” on the envelope, USPS sent it back to our house.

If you know who this is or this is you, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
Thanks to R. for sending: “December 2020 – not sure how long ago these tenants moved out but they sure don’t live here anymore!”
