Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office has tips to avoid being the victim of mailbox theft, a situation that unfortunately many locals now find themselves in. Checks and personal information are being taken out of personal mailboxes. To avoid being the next victim: Remove mail from mailbox daily, as soon as possible. Promptly pickup mail. Try not to leave letters and packages in your mailbox or at your door for any length of time. Switch to paperless billing. Put a hold on your mail when you are out of town. Deposit mail close to pickup time. And inquire about overdue mail. If someone has stolen your mail, call Central dispatch 435-738-2424 to report it.
