Probably should forward this to Gail.

Here's the version that doesn't require a login: https://archive.is/zDruZ

I see reports of this phenomenon going back to 2021.  So, it's been going
on for a while.

I think I've always dropped my mail into the blue boxes just before the
pick-up time, so we probably just lucked out in the past.

But, these days, most of my bill-paying is electronic or I just hand the
check directly to the person.  Even when it's electronic, presumably the
preprinted checks don't pass through USPS blue boxes.  So, that's probably
safe, too.
