There ought to be face scanners at random apartment mailboxes with carrier faces in the system. If the face doesn’t get scanned often enough the police can be notified. Dam this is too easy!

The vertical galvanized boxes have too many pry points. The newer ones are better. The Mail use to be inviolable, like a maidens virtue. US Postal Inspectors used to induce fear. Security doors to apartment lobbies lack the circular pipe shroud that you see in the Sunset District in SF. Often a horizontal handle is used. It is easy to twist off with a wrench. The pipe shroud protects the keyway and cylinder.
