Mail Theft
The Twin Cities area has experienced a large amount of mail theft. Although it is virtually impossible to control what mail is sent to you, it is strongly suggested that any checks you receive on a regular basis be directly deposited into your bank account. It is also strongly suggested that you not use your mailbox for outgoing mail. People who steal mail will not sort through it, they take it all. Not only is there a possibility that the thieves will attempt to cash your checks, but the checks will not go where you sent them. Many times, you will not be aware that the checks are gone until you receive a late notice.
