Mailboxes in Bay Ridge – Sticky Inside
The sticky substance is put inside the box to catch envelopes that thieves are looking to steal checks (that they recreate) or other personal information. In December, the Post Office replaced the mailbox on 70th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway immediately when the sticky substance was reported. (See here)
We stopped using the mailboxes on the street because we have heard about residents having stolen checks or seeing a sticky substance inside the box.
