I don't recall seeing anything defending anyone coming from me...so either I was typing in my sleep or you're toking on some good stuff over there Scott... My point was that if you dont use proper security, then dont act all surprised when someone does hack you. That is common sense. Other than mailboxes in apartments and other multi-family dwellings, I haven't, but that doesn't meant hey don't exist obviously. When most people think mailbox, however, they are thinking of your standard, non paranoid, single owner type.

I cannot believe that you guys are actually trying to defend the invasion of someone's privacy. Is this Bizaro World? What's next? Sam touting the benefits of Obama-care? BTW - I have seen mailboxes that have an opening to put mail into, but also a door, with a lock, to get it out. Still, lock or not, it is illegal, and I believe a felony, to open someone else's mail.
