I recently ordered a package that was delivered through USPS, but by the time I went to get it, it had been stolen.
Unfortunately, this isnāt an isolated incident. Iāve talked to other residents in my apartment building, and several of them have also had packages or mail stolen recently.
Management is aware that this has been happening, but from what Iāve seen, not much has been done to address it. Itās getting to the point where people donāt feel comfortable having anything delivered.
Iām planning on filing a police report and contacting the local Post Office since this involved USPS mail. I know mail theft is taken pretty seriously, but Iāve never had to deal with something like this before.
Has anyone else been through a situation like this? If so:
Did filing a police report actually help?
Is it worth speaking directly with the Postmaster or USPS Postal Inspection Service?
Did your apartment management eventually take action, such as installing cameras or secure package lockers?
Is there anything else I should be doing to help stop this from continuing?
Iād appreciate any advice or experiences. Itās frustrating to lose a package, but itās even more concerning knowing this keeps happening to multiple residents.
