Re: How to deal with your Neighbors Outdoor Lights



BTW, stuffing messages in mailboxes is illegal in the U.S.


You know, i've heard this all my life, but i'm not sure it's true.
I own the mailbox in front of my house. Why would it be a crime for
someone other than the USPS to put stuff in it? I do understand that
the USPS has standards for what can be considered an acceptable
mailbox but i don't think they actually have any jurisdiction over
MY mailbox per se. Tampering with delivered mail may be a crime but
i don't think putting things in my mailbox is.
