Mailbox Mystery!


Remember my post on missing mail and possible tampering with our
house mailboxes? Well, my hunch just got stronger recently when I went to pick up my mail and discovered not one, not two but three torn envelopes! It was almost as if someone was trying to reach inside the contents of my mailbox but failed...so far.

Since I'm living in a condo, we don't actually have the typical
wall mounted mailboxes right outside our door so everything is located downstairs in the mail room. I was in a hurry so I didn't check my mail immediately that day. It was only two days later when I browsed through my stack of mail that I discovered the three ripped envelopes! Now who would do that and three ripped envelopes does not make it a coincidence right? Unless of course, my mailman was so careless and accidentally tore my envelopes open, which I seriously doubt. Smiley

Anyway, the ripped envelopes were junk mail so they weren't important. I was worried because I was expecting my first cheque from Churp Churp and that I can't afford to lose. The amount may be small but the trouble to get another cheque mailed my way is the hassle I am avoiding. Fortunately, my CC cheque arrived two days later and I did not get any more torn envelopes after the first incident.
Smiley

To be on the safe side however, I'm going to change the lock on my
wall mount mailbox. But in order to do that, we'd have to file a report with the management office and what not, which is actually the most tedious part. Oh well, these are just some of the condo-living woes I'm facing and hopefully there would be no more torn mail after we change our lock! I hope you're enjoying your weekend and thanks for visiting me today.

Ane,  July 18, 2010 at 12:19 AM  

oh no no no, just like my sister's mail! someone s always opening her mail! she lives in a condo too..

Ane,  July 18, 2010 at 12:19 AM  

Perhaps someone was scavenging around your mail?

Ane,  July 18, 2010 at 12:20 AM  

I do hope that whoever is tampering with your mail gets caught, I mean even if it is just junk mail, what if the culprit chanced upon a check or something, right? tsk tsk, what is the world coming to?!

Hey Marzie!! Remember that someone ripped my mail and stole the contents -- the souvenirs from Japan that you sent to me??? >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o It must've jutted out from the mailbox or something.. but people are just so cruel. That's one of the things about condo living. Everyone's mailboxes are all in the same mail room and you never know who it could be. So evil. I hope they leave your mail from now on.

Our mailbox in KK is only a slit through the wall.. and then it drops like 1 foot down to the holding box. That way no one can reach in and packages that don't fit will be given to us by hand. If only we can have something like that..

Bill,  July 18, 2010 at 12:41 AM  

That happens a lot of here in the states. People try and get into your mail to steal your money, check or even your personal identity. Its bad you always have to be careful and always watching. ;)

Mariuca,  July 18, 2010 at 12:58 AM  

Perhaps perhaps but there's a security guard on the floor actually so I'm hoping again.. it was just a one-off incident.. *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW*

Bella Enveeus,  July 18, 2010 at 12:59 AM  

That's dangerous.. Yeah, changing locks is a definite good idea.. Maybe these ppl knows you get money in mails (altho cheques) and want to make life a little hard for u.. :(

Mariuca,  July 18, 2010 at 12:59 AM

My sister's mail have been tampered with numerous times Marzie, it's a good thing they are mostly bills.. She has reported it and have changed locks 3x already but somehow someone still manages to rip open her mail!

It is good idea to file the complain against it and changing the lock is fair. But i'm wondering why any one doing this? I guess some one deeply taking interest on you. Be careful. Also, in the mean time can you please check out my online store of e-juice and related equipment and share your feedback on it? Here is store url - https://www.theblack.shop/
