This week we have received multiple calls regarding mail theft in Napa County. Here are 5 tips to help prevent mail theft —
– If possible lock your mail box.

or a mailbox at a secured location

mail.
– Place a vacation hold on all mail when leaving for an
extended period of time from your residence.

overnight in your mailbox.”
