I had two packages consisting of three coins stolen out of my mailbox today. I almost always go to the post office; but was feeling lazy today, so I figured I would mail them from home. Over 20 years of living in this neighborhood and this has never happened before. My mailman cam up to talk to me, because the flag was up but nothing in the box. He said there were several complaints of stolen mail in the area. Lesson learned ALWAYS GO TO THE POST OFFICE. It would be nice if I saw these pop up on eBay in the future.
