ACK! My apartment's mailbox has been broken into! HOPE ME! →[More:]I came home tonight to find that the row of mailboxes for my apartment has been broken into (with my mailbox, which was at the end, especially tweaked), and all the mail gone!

I have no idea what was delivered -- what should I do? Put my mail on hold? (There is no longer a secure place to deliver it.) Call the bank in case there were any bank statements? Cry?

Cry, call landlord, call the cops. The cops won't do much but you may need to have that contact on record.

Yeah -- boo. 'Tis sucky. I notified the post office online, but I'll have to march down there tomorrow AM.

:(

identity theft. Call banks, and everyone, and get your shizzat changed. Boo thieves!

Call the post office. Fucking with the mail is a federal offense. I believe the statute is actually called "fucking with the mail"

Technically, it's a fucking federal offense.
