    I found a bank letter outside with no envelope and the replacement card missing (could see the imprint)… went over to my neighbour’s place to let someone know only to see a further bunch of her mail opened and strewn in a pile.

    Fortunately I still had her daughter’s number and let her know in case someone was draining her mum’s bank account or stealing her identity. Then I gathered the other opened mail and hid it behind something so other people wouldn’t grab it. That’s so shitty. She’s a sick old woman. I found the original near my own letterbox so wondering if the pricks have stolen any of my mail 😰

    Edit: To clarify the bank letter with the missing/stolen card was addressed to this neighbour. I went to talk to her family about it because a few years ago she had a stroke

      That’s so good of you! Our mail boxes are regularly pillaged. It’s the worst.

        Just basic decency. I should have kept an eye on the mail while she wasn’t there but thought her family had it handled.
