–Locking Mailboxes– Stolen Mail

Carol Silvernail reported this to me and asked that it be posted in the Blog. Dav Eide and I appreciate people reporting things like this so that we can post them.

Fort Knox mailboxes are made in Grant’s Pass, Oregon and several of us in the neighborhood have them. I mention that because on Sunday morning (Aug 2) as we were driving up Military towards 122nd we noticed a lot of trash on the side of the road. When we came back a few hours later it was still there so we stopped. It was stolen mail. Most of it was junk but there were a few unopened official looking pieces and lots of envelopes that had been opened. The addresses of the stolen mail were from 81st Ave in Spanaway. There was also a traffic ticket issued July 28th to a girl from Bonney Lake driving without insurance. I called the Pierce County Sheriff non-emergency number this morning and within a few hours a sheriff stopped by and picked up what I had found. The Sheriff’s non-emergency number is 798-4721.

I also noticed a lot of other litter on Military, going up to 122nd. Maybe when the weather cools down we can clean up along the road.
