'NYPD cops are on an all-out blitz to get people to think twice before using blue postal boxes because of the crime they invite.“Don’t be a victim. '
'Last year, the Bronx post office got rid of more than 100 boxes, which were supposed to be replaced with new ones that have narrow slots. '
'Take you mail into the post office don’t use the mailbox,” the Upper West Side’s 24th Precinct wrote in a tweet that was deleted Tuesday afternoon. '
'In November, a thief in Harlem swiped $56,000 in checks that a local homeless advocacy group had put in a box. '
'The tweet included an image of a blue postal box, a fishing rod snatching an envelope and the words, “Mailbox Fishing Leads to Check Washing.”An NYPD spokeswoman said the post wasn’t in response to anything in particular. '
