Thousands of San Francisco residents may be missing mail after a postal carrier was robbed last month of keys to boxes used to store incoming and outgoing letters and packages, authorities say.
Mail was reported missing from blue postal collection boxes as well as from green relay boxes, which store mail heading to residents’ mailboxes and usually are accessed only by carriers, Norfleet said.
It’s not clear whether the same people who stole the keys also stole the mail from the boxes, he said. The Postal Inspection Service is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information that leads to the conviction of those who robbed the postal worker, and up to $10,000 for those responsible for mail theft.
