The local postal worker puts RUBBER BANDS around mailboxes of units/houses that are vacant!!! That kind of cheeses me off. I don't need it advertised that my downstairs unit is vacant and so is the SFH I own next door!!

Thoughts? --72.231.xxx.xx

Remove the rubber band, and put your name on the mailbox. Mail yourself a postcard or love letter. --174.192.xx.xxx

Yes, just put a name on. YOu will get advertising stuff that goes in every box but it's better than a break in. --108.24.xx.xx

Here they put a clear vinyl envelope under the lid and put a `vacant` tag in it. I really don't like the rubber band which you can see from the street, having to lift the lid isn't bad.

I'm with WMH just remove the mailbox --216.158.xxx.xxx

how does a postal worker determine if a unit is vacant? because a mail forwarding request was submitted? --50.4.xxx.x

I had a tenant that was in place for a few months and the postal person put "VACANT" on the mailbox and started returning all of the mail.

I knew this because I sent a letter to them and it was returned. I immediately went to the property to see if the tenant happened to move out. They didn't... they just didn't have their mail going there they used a PO Box (and just didn't tell me). The thing is though... I was floored that the post office just listed the property as vacant. It's not like it's out of the way for them to deliver any mail at all anyway as it was a multi unit. What do they think? Just because they don't have mail going there to deliver it's vacant? --69.201.xx.xxx

Local post office puts cards in the mailbox stating it is believed vacant. Tenant can fill out card and then they know.

I would not want this to be advertised where the neighborhood knows it is empty. The rubber band idea sounds like laziness to me. --107.147.xx.xxx

I don't care. I zip tie-you left-no mare mail for you. Or remove. Either shows it is empty. --73.230.xxx.xx

Rubber band? what are those.....down in the 'Burg they call them "Gum bands"

The mail person is just doing there job, so use that gum band to hold the door flap shut so they know not to place the junk mail inside. --24.101.xxx.xxx
