Mail theft is a class C felony that can earn perpetrators up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. And while mail theft has been surging, according to data compiled by Syracuse University, federal prosecutions of mail crimes have hit a 20-year low.

Individuals remain primarily responsible for protecting their mail. Practices such as collecting envelopes and packages as soon as they’re delivered remain strongly recommended. However, such diligent and timely behavior isn’t practical for most who may not be home for any number of reasons. 

Locking mailboxes present the best deterrent for would-be criminals. The more theft-proof your mailbox is, the harder a criminal has to work. 

Moving’s a pain in the butt. Moving a gun safe is just darn ridiculous, especially when it weighs 2,000-ish pounds. Luckily, with the right expertise and tools, your safe can be safely moved and installed.
