Reasons to secure your mail
Your Brisbane based house looks great, your landscaping is done, but there’s something not quite right. An old tatty looking letterbox can really drag the appearance of your home. The issue with an old tatty letterbox isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s also about security too.
Whilst it is a federal offence to steal somebodies mail, it doesn’t always stop an opportunistic thief.
Why is it so important to secure your mail?
- Whilst so much can be done online these days there are still a few things we need snail mail for and when you leave your letterbox unsecured you are risking giving access to very personal and private information.
- Credit cards are still sent via mail; don’t become a thief’s best friend by making it easy for them to steal from you.
- At Christmas time it’s not uncommon to send cards with money, and as this is a well-known thing it is the perfect time for a thief to clean up.
- Packages are easy pray when you consider how easy it is to pick most letterbox locks. Why pay good money for an order and then risk it getting stolen?
- Your letterbox is the perfect way to gain sensitive information about you for identity theft, which can give access to your accounts and other personal information.
How can I secure my letterbox?
- A high-quality light weight letterbox from Poly-Tek Australia is the perfect solution. Our letterboxes are easy to install and are concreted in place. The locks are secure and tamper-proof, so you can be assured of your mail security.
- If you have an existing letterbox you can visit your local locksmith and ask what locking solutions, they recommend; don’t forget a small investment can save you a lot of hassle and money in the long-run.
- Adding a security camera to your mail box can deter criminals from stealing your mail.
- As more mailbox theft takes place at night, a sensor light is an effective and budget friendly way to shine the spot light on a potential criminal, no longer having the cloak of darkness to shield them it can be a great deterrent for criminals.
