Pro-tip, don't fuck with the postal service. Really quick way to get the federal law enforcement involved which both makes getting caught way more likely AND massively increase the consequences when you do.

How are people this stupid? You seriously thought you were going to get anything worthwhile from a mail truck? On top of that you’re gonna get federal charges too lmao. Glad this idiot is off the streets. Less idiots in the gene pool.

The blue box keys have been pretty lucrative things to have.

I mean that might be true but you are still taking on a HUGE risk for a potential reward.

The blue box keys are a path to free money.

People still mail checks. They steal the checks, whitewash them, fill them out for whatever number and launder the proceeds.

​

It's so bad that USPS actually says don't even use the blue boxes anymore and drop mail off at an actual post office. The blue boxes might as well not even be locked, so many are just opened and robbed.

Up to 20 for one charge up to 10 for the other. How about natural life? Fuck that up to nonsense.
