Review: Living In Emergency
You learn the darndest things on line: the LAPD posts officer reports at lapdonline.org.
Officers patroling the Hollywood Hills area report, "We are still experiencing mail thefts in the Barham/Lake Hollywood area. Please have outside mailboxes that lock, and don’t leave outgoing mail for the postman to pick up."
Who the hell is stealing mail from these people? Some desperate drunk intent on bartering SAG checks for drinks at Residuals?

Yeah, but if you lock your mailboxes how the hell does the postman put mail in your box? And then, if you've got to give the mailman a key -- that means the guy/gal is literally carrying around a ring of a thousand keys or something like that.
It's sad, really.
I've heard that something ridiculous like 75% of all mail theft cases are committed by crystal meth users/addicts.
In fact, I really thought I'd never have occasion to use that little tidbit. Thank you, LAist.
Many folks in the hills have a special type of mailbox with a slot for incoming mail that's designed to make reaching into it generally very difficult (or easy for people with unusually long, super thin arms), and requires a key to open.
