If you have passed by the mailboxes in the front lobby recently you may have noticed the notes above.
The note says;
" Attention: Your Mail is not safe. I received a package from Amazon which was opened and stolen by someone in the building (24 Norman Street). I saw the package near the mailboxes but was unable to pick it up because I was running out the door. When I returned, I found the opened package lying nearby and the contents gone. besides the fact that opening someone else's mail is a Federal offense, it is also STEALING. Mail that is someone else's property should not be opened and STOLEN.
This will be reported to Markwood Management and the U.S. Postal Service. If you have information about this crime, please notify Markwood Management at 781-639-4080."
Apparently we have a thief or thieves who either live in the building, or have regular access to the building. The intended recipient of the stolen package discovered the theft and posted the note you see above on the bulletin board, which was followed by several others, also reporting thefts of mail and other items left in the hallways.
This might be a good time to remind people about building security. Do not prop doors open for any reason. Do not let people into the building you do not know. Do not reveal the front door security code to non-residents. And watch for and report any suspicious person or activity immediately. (For example, someone examining packages that are not addressed to them).
This is an especially unfortunate development with Christmas coming up. For people who work all day, and cannot be here to take delivery of their packages in person. be aware that until the culprit is identified, any package left unattended in the front lobby may be at risk.
Not feeling secure in the building where you live is a very troublesome matter and will not be tolerated.
If you are the thief, or know who they are, realize that when you are caught, you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
