Your identity is unique and can be stolen which when thinking of home and property we keep them safe but ignore the identity theft. The mailboxes can easily be opened and all the personal information can be stolen.
In America, people have mailboxes, which serve the purpose of receiving the mail, but in terms of security, they cannot do much. The identity theft is a very serious offense, which can affect you, and therefore the mailboxes need to be protected from the thieves.
All your personal information by way of your credit cards, bills can fall into the hands of the thieves who can misuse it against you.
To protect you need to think about the mailbox security. You can try locking the mailbox and only by the use of the key, you can access it.
