Serial Female Mail Thief in Hollywood Caught on Video

Hollywood resident and Metblogs writer David Markland got a hold of some apartment security footage showing an unidentified women entering the grounds and acting suspicious. Later, some residents reported that their mail was opened. Apparently, there has been a string of thefts in the neighborhood--one local heard a clank on their mailbox and saw this woman with her bicycle and fugly uggs when they stepped outside. Both incidents happened northwest of the Hollywood and Highland area.

This is the same location where Markland had video footage of a man dressed up as a city utility worker stealing a bicycle last summer.

Thanks for spreading the word, Zach. As I mention in my original post, if you've been a victim, contact your local post office ASAP to report the crime.

Also, if the video shows that its "unavailable" try viewing it in a different browser (Explorer instead of Firefox, or Firefox instead of Chrome, for example).

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be turned on by this.

We have a mail thief in our building it's been an on going thing for the past week. and then just the other day someone broke into the apartment offices that are in the basement. We've got notices and pictures posted through out the building and for now a night time security guard again.

it's not the first time.

Looks like she was considering the bike, too. (Adding a misdemeanor -- petty theft -- to the Federal crime of mail tampering / theft).
