It is harder, from a criminal perspective you are taking too much risk whereas you can pop a jackpot with a running getaway vehicle beside you. That's why there is rampant CMB theft and not so much home theft. You could also jack a postie for their keys and clear out every box in the neighborhood quickly eapecially on welfare cheque day something they already do a lot of in Burnaby/Surrey from what I've heard from CPC hq
- onebaddude 13y ago>You could also jack a postie The level of audacity it takes to assault and rob a government employee, versus casually walking into someone's driveway and grabbing their mail are not even close. I have people delivering fliers to my mailbox multiple times a week. It would take no effort for them to grab my mail and stick it in their sack. But again, I don't think "the ease at which your mail can be stolen" should even be part of this argument, as it's apparently significantly low in most cases.
- clauretano 13y ago> That's why there is rampant CMB theft Rampant? 4800 issues reported in BC over a 5 year period[1], in a province with over 20,000 community mailboxes. Issues include non-theft things like graffiti and other vandalism. Haven't found more detailed info, would appreciate a link if you have one. 1: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/super-mailboxes-in-b-c-targeted-thousands-of-times-records-reveal-1.1413809 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/super-mailbox...
- graeme 13y agoThe article says there are currently 20,000 mailboxes. It doesn't mention how many there were in 2008 - it sounds like community mailboxes are increasing rapidly.
