The post office is like working for the police force, they will always cover their own to keep their reputation good. If yall only knew how much mail the postal service throws away just to say it was delivered in time cause they dont want to pay the overtime needed. supervisor throw it away and clock employees out that are still on the clock just for management bonuses at the end of year fatter for their own pockets. Also the union steals a lot of money also.

Can we take a second to talk about how unwise it is for a news agency reporting on a guy making counterfeit keys to just post a macro shot of the key in question for everyone in existence to know how to duplicate it? You only need the physical dimension of the keyway, grab a screen capture of that close-up of the key, scale the image to those dimension, make an outline in CAD and send it to a 3D printer or CNC machine. Boom, instant keys. That's why they tell you not to post clear images of your house or car keys to social media...
Those keys clearly say “Do not duplicate”. It’s a federal crime classified as a felony. They don’t consider the consequences cause it’s easier than finding a job!
@@mjrewerts don't be foolish, template keys have been on Google for forever now; it's no secret anybody can print these out. The real trick is to find out what the cuts are and that actually takes skill to duplicate. They're also federally illegal to own so you'll automatically go to federal prison if you have a printout. Federal courts also have a 95+% conviction rate so good luck 👍

I live in southern California and I haven't used those mailboxes for years. If I need to mail something I go to the Post Office and I go inside and drop the mail in an inside mail slot. They have five or six blue mailboxes in the parking lot but people still steal mail out of those mailboxes. Mail theft is a huge problem here. I see people online saying they had packages stolen from their porch too. Sometimes the thieves follow the mail carrier around and when they turn a corner the thieves go around looking in mailboxes. It's time for the feds to start doing something. It should be a mandatory five year prison sentence for these idiots.

Yes, and this has happened before. However, the issue was corrected immediately before that many theft incidents occurred and the public was never alerted.The current arrow key being used in the Pacific region, had to be copied then turned back in. Too many thefts have occurred . Usually, if an arrow key is not turned in by whom it was signed out by, or not accounted for each day.The inspection service is immediately notified and appropriate steps are taken. Sanctity of, and trust in the mail is the cornerstone of the USPS. With out it, the postal service will crumble. This is not good.
@@WopRicci back in the day you signed for those keys and had to be cleared at the end of the day. If by some chance you accidentally took those keys home you had to turn around and bring them back to the station or you got a visit from a postal inspector. And God forbid you lost them you were history! Management had the fear of God in us😳 That level of accountability is gone! And Not to mention that the whole world is gone crazy! Now being a mail carrier is one of the most dangerous jobs in some places, like here in lovely Chicago, where people jump out of cars with guns and rob you.smh

I personally blame this on the postal service, first you dare not tell the public that these keys are the master key to open any mail box, second you change the collections box so it takes two different keys to unlock. I worked for the postal service for many years and I suggested over 25yrs ago for them to make different keys for every zip to have their own master keys. If not then every three set of zip codes to have the same master key. There for you would know which area to cover for possible theft. But know they said was to cost effective, but carriers losing their lives is not worth it
Prossibly because they're working to get more info out of them about their organization. Releasing info about the person's identity could cause the organization to make sudden changes & cut off opportunities to catch more people higher up.

@@RR-kz4hqthe power to create post offices, alongside roads, is given to Congress in the Constitution. It isn't a constitutional right, it is an enumeration of powers.

I'm in Southern California and my town experienced such mail theft a few years ago. You would think the USPS would add video cameras focused on the blue mailboxes and monitored by a security company that could notify the local police. Nope, instead the USPS removed all of them, even the one outside the local post office! A couple of them were drive up which had been convenient for me since I have a walking disability.
SoCal here too. Our mailboxes were removed about ten years ago. Video cameras are useless because the thieves wear hoodies & masks. And try getting the police to come out...good luck with that!

I'm in Southern California. Last year on my morning walk I noticed several pieces in the road and picked them up, thinking someone had just dropped them. There were four bills being paid, but the checks that had been in the envelopes were gone. I tracked down the senders (always put a return address on the envelope!) and all had been dropped in the same blue box the day before. The thief used a long wire with adhesive to pluck them out. I take the few bills I pay by snail mail to the post office. My brother has all his delivered to a POBox and he can see pictures of them before going to pick them up.
Informed delivery. That is how I knew my checks were stolen. I'd get the picture of the mail that was at post office. But never made it to my mailbox . Guess why? Cause mail delivery person didn't deliver them. I cancelled them and had then resent to my daughter's address 6 month later the postal worker was arrested for mail theft. Had made quite a career of stealing mail. I'd guess they got probation if even that

That's the right question, because spending hundreds of thousands on new locks and keys really isn't going to help if it's easy for criminals to just get ahold of the new ones.
I've been seeing mail collection boxes sealed or removed, even the boxes in front of post offices in our area. I immediately thought, the right dishonest postal employee finally allowed someone to copy the arrow key. If it was lost or stolen, the inspection service would have known immediately and taken immediate steps to prevent. That arrow key is extremely guarded. If an arrow key is not turned in at the end of a shift for any reason, the postal inspection service is to be immediately notified and whoever didn't turn it in to the accountable clerk would be immediately suspended pending investigation, possible charges and termination. Back in the 90s an arrow key was stolen from a carrier in an armed hold up. Every lock had to be replaced in the affected districts , immediately. The public never knew.

I live in southern California and I haven't used those mailboxes for years. If I need to mail something I go to the Post Office and I go inside and drop the mail in an inside mail slot. They have five or six blue mailboxes in the parking lot but people still steal mail out of those mailboxes. Mail theft is a huge problem here. I see people online saying they had packages stolen from their porch too. Sometimes the thieves follow the mail carrier around and when they turn a corner the thieves go around looking in mailboxes.

Yes, and this has happened before. However, the issue was corrected immediately before that many theft incidents occurred and the public was never alerted.The current arrow key being used in the Pacific region, had to be copied then turned back in. Too many thefts have occurred . Usually, if an arrow key is not turned in by whom it was signed out by, or not accounted for each day.The inspection service is immediately notified and appropriate steps are taken. Sanctity of, and trust in the mail is the cornerstone of the USPS. With out it, the postal service will crumble. This is not good.
@@WopRicci back in the day you signed for those keys and had to be cleared at the end of the day.

They safely and securely allow for any number of 3 AM ballot dumps.
I personally blame this on the postal service, first you dare not tell the public that these keys are the master key to open any mail box, second you change the collections box so it takes two different keys to unlock. I worked for the postal service for many years and I suggested over 25yrs ago for them to make different keys for every zip to have their own master keys. If not then every three set of zip codes to have the same master key. There for you would know which area to cover for possible theft. But know they said was to cost effective, but carriers losing their lives is not worth it
Why are they not showing us the picture/name of the arrested individual? Protected class?
Definitely not a White person.
You don't have to make everything about race dude. We get it, you hate people that don't look like you.
@@jackjohnson8244 What we hate is Censorship when the Media decides what we need to know.
Protected class? You mean the criminal is a billionaire?
Prossibly because they're working to get more info out of them about their organization. Releasing info about the person's identity could cause the organization to make sudden changes & cut off opportunities to catch more people higher up.
I used to work for the USPS and delivered mail and had a gangbox key that opened everything! We had two carriers fired because they were stealing mail!!
A few years from now they’ll be telling us don’t use the post office itself. It’s not safe.
Not unless you want to lose a lot of your rights and freedoms. Post office is in the constitution babe
Only if tRump gets elected
@@RR-kz4hqthe constitution doesn’t seem to matter anymore
So so true
@@RR-kz4hqthe power to create post offices, alongside roads, is given to Congress in the Constitution. It isn't a constitutional right, it is an enumeration of powers.
I misread the title thinking that some guy named “Boulder Man” had done some sort of sabotage towards the blue mailboxes.
FLORIDA MAN: Hold my Oxy
An employee most likely gave access to the key for duplicating. They’re just hiring shady people these days.
They keep moving here from sh*thole states (where they couldn't hold down a job either) 😆
Thanks for showing the key on this video, now people can make more copies.
😂welcome to USA!
Had my CO state tax refund check stolen from mailbox at Ascend apartments in Lakewood about 2 years ago. I contacted DOR immediately and they cancelled the check and issued me a new one. No sign of damage to the mailboxes at the apartment so assuming it was someone with one of these keys.
Or it was misdelivered to a neighbor and they kept it. Years ago, credit cards used to mail out checks implying it was free money but it was a loan on your card. I saw the charge on my card, and I was able to get it reversed, but I knew how it happened. I was living in an apartment building with twelve units, and three of us have very similar last names, and I was always getting the other two’s mail. Problem disappeared once I moved.
@@AverageJillM Not in this case. The entire complex got their mail stolen one night. USPS confirmed we were victims of theft as they had delivered the mail per usual. Same thing that was happening during the disbursement of the COVID relief checks.
We had a couple carriers in an office I was in busted for stealing government checks. Even one manager was busted for theft.
Has the government never heard of changing locks?
Have you never heard of the concept of time?
Why didn't the government wave their magic wand to magically change all the locks instantly? As we all know, changing the locks on every mail box is instantaneous and happens by magic.
Yeah that's how Democrats get votes
Only on your home when you fail to pay them "owed" real estate taxes.
@@thewoodmoose all the checks and balances that we had in our system are gone.
Why isn’t the “alleged” criminal’s info posted?
Because he is not white.
Because the Internet is forever and people have a constitutional right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.
People are sometimes arrested for things they didn’t do, if it was you would you want to be slandered on the Internet where it’s out there forever? Do you hate our constitution?
Normal states prosecute criminals. Escape Colorado
we should use this system for voting.
Now you know why republicans hate the idea of drop boxes. They want the use of mailboxes, so they can be broken into.
💥 Exactly! 💯 🤦♀️
Those mailboxes are few and far between. USPS has been removing them.
What about neighborhood mailbox? The ones that deliver your mail? Not just the blue ones.
When the Feds can't even run their own business, but still think they can tell you how to run your life.
The feds are clesrly capable of running their own business, or else they wouldn't be investigating this. You right wing hogs are so funny when you try to sound like "anti-establishment, small government free thinkers " we need a really big government to tax everything you own. The sooner we tax you at 100%, the better. The government absolutely needs to tell elites like you what to do at all times.
You mean the post office? They're the problem here. How are you shifting blame to.... Oh, yeah, Republican. You can't put this on DeJoy because it will look bad for Trump. Got it. Twist away!
Go work for them once.
@@michaelmiller9870 I did work for the feds. First I worked for the state, then I worked for IRS and then I worked for bureau of Land Management. Management. 13 years. But that was in the days when The government served the people. Then the wackos came in. They wanted power and they didn't care about the public. I was 19 when I was working as a secretary filing the new inserts for the Federal register. Do you know what that is? It's all the new laws. Nowadays. It's all computerized. It has to be because there are thousands and thousands and thousands of new laws every damn year to govern every detail of your life. Not just laws by our legislators but by an elected government employees. Their laws have ruined many people's lives. When Trump came into office he had a policy of eliminating government overreach and did away with a lot of the bogus requirements of the laws to expand business and take the monkey off of the backs of the US citizens. Did you know this? Did you know that Biden not only reenacted those laws but added a ton more to them? But, you can be sure that Democrats break all of them and there are no repercussions. That's called totalitarianism
Because you have politicians intentionally sabotaging things so they can be privatized. This is intentional. You know this.
Welcome to the third world Colorado.
I'm in Southern California and my town experienced such mail theft a few years ago. You would think the USPS would add video cameras focused on the blue mailboxes and monitored by a security company that could notify the local police. Nope, instead the USPS removed all of them, even the one outside the local post office! A couple of them were drive up which had been convenient for me since I have a walking disability.
SoCal here too. Our mailboxes were removed about ten years ago. Video cameras are useless because the thieves wear hoodies & masks. And try getting the police to come out...good luck with that!
That would require time and effort on their part and there's no profit to be made.... they don't care about regular people like us anymore
the USPS contracts out the postal worker jobs that is why those keys are duplicated when they leave that postal job or get laid off they well copy the keys
@@heatherhopfinger3942 how you know?
We had a carrier in one of our offices selling cocaine on his route. LOL!

What is funny about that?
Don't count on the Postal Inspectors
they are clueless.
they are mail employees that just happened
to stay at home long enough to get a college degree
what a way to make sure people don't mail in their ballots or an excuse when they are lost
Vote in person - problem solved
We're in the OKC area & between the stolen USPS mailbox keys and people "fishing" stuff out of the blue boxes, we've been dropping off our mail inside our post office weekly for the past couple of years.
I'm surprised to see Boulder PD making arrests. We had video of mail theft from our box a couple of years ago and the Aurora PD wouldn't even come out. They said it was a federal issue and we were told to call the Postal Inspectors (who never returned my call).
Under the Biden regime? Those democrats sure like do not like putting criminals in jail.
@@Bonzi_Buddy
Trump lost
time for people to move to Fort Collins Colorado and out of Aurora since that stuff goes on
That’s BS. Theft is still theft. Mail thieves are violating both state and federal laws.
Yep US Postal Inspectors are only for high level cases
They do not even respond if ur just a citizen.
and they said vote by mail was safe to do!!!
Yeah but every time I’ve ever voted by “mail” I’ve gone to the ballot drop off boxes outside of the Thornton police department. I didn’t think you could even use USPS…. I don’t trust them to even bring my bills on time.
@@Sick_Boy_Rick74
They say that so the left can continue to cheat
Vote by mail is safe to do. What does this have to do with mail in votes beyond both of them involving mail? Do you think the thieves were switching your fascist Trump vote for Biden?
@@Sick_Boy_Rick74 I hate to break it to you, but you literally admitted to using USPS in your comment. It is not possible to mail in your vote without using the United States Postal Service. That mail box you said you use isn't owned and operated by the police. It is operated by the USPS.
That's what Colorado has become. Restrain the citizens, not the criminals.
I'm in Southern California. Last year on my morning walk I noticed several pieces in the road and picked them up, thinking someone had just dropped them. There were four bills being paid, but the checks that had been in the envelopes were gone. I tracked down the senders (always put a return address on the envelope!) and all had been dropped in the same blue box the day before. The thief used a long wire with adhesive to pluck them out.
I take the few bills I pay by snail mail to the post office. My brother has all his delivered to a POBox and he can see pictures of them before going to pick them up.
I pay all my bills online.
Anyone can see pictures of their mail being delivered
If u take ur mail to the PO
Don’t put in blue boxes anymore! Take inside.
Informed delivery. That is how I knew my checks were stolen. I'd get the picture of the mail that was at post office. But never made it to my mailbox . Guess why? Cause mail delivery person didn't deliver them. I cancelled them and had then resent to my daughter's address 6 month later the postal worker was arrested for mail theft. Had made quite a career of stealing mail. I'd guess they got probation if even that
Well then the hours that you can go inside a post office need to be extended. Where I live it closes at six. Used to be midnight.
You're lucky. Ours is only open for 2 hours!
They don't want to get robbed
Lobby is open all day n nite
This stuff never happened when I was growing up. Everyone knew it was a punishable crime! Plus, everyone just seemed to love their neighbors more back then, so stealing their mail was definitely not going to happen. We should return to the good ole days in more ways than just this one!
Dad took off his belt. Good old leather lesson.
"The good old days" is a blanket term reflective of a time when women & minorities had less rights, something the republican party still subscribes to today.
Well nowadays if someone has more than you they came about it unfairly and you have every right to take it from them, comrade

Yeah, I was a mail carrier for 13 years and never had a problem getting robbed. Now it happens all the time.

How about a mug pic of the perp? Really curious who is behind this.
Nice that they clearly showed the Arrow key profile.
People stealing mail in every state including here in NH, they use a different method for stealing checks & gift cards. Friend of mine never got his gift card & card, won't send it in the mail anymore, pretty sad!
No public alert until July for a loss of mail issue identified back in March is a USPS failure to communicate that should be investigated.
A check was stolen from my nephew's christmas card last year. Thief just resealed the envelope, so my nephew got the card. He told his grandfather there was no check and obviously the crime was committed within the post office. The thief also started passing forged checks with the grandfather's name on it.
They also white wash checks.
yup it is the contracted out workers they will open an envelope in front of you and take a gift card out and reseal the envelope
They also duplicate car and house keys. No lock is too difficult. Please help the targets of this crime and do not help the perpetrators. In Boulder I see absolute corruption including law enforcement and many other public service agencies. Thank you for your attention to this very important crime. Sincerely, Rachael of Boulder County.
How the hell did these criminals get a hold of the master keys in the first place?
Maybe they copied it off a news story! ;-)
Sometimes they steal them from postal workers out on a route. Sometimes it’s an inside job with a corrupt postal worker.
That's the right question, because spending hundreds of thousands on new locks and keys really isn't going to help if it's easy for criminals to just get ahold of the new ones.
I guess you haven't heard they have been 😢 robbing the postal workers on their routes 😮
@@idontdohumans5950 No. I had not! Thanks for that info.
I've been seeing mail collection boxes sealed or removed, even the boxes in front of post offices in our area. I immediately thought, the right dishonest postal employee finally allowed someone to copy the arrow key. If it was lost or stolen, the inspection service would have known immediately and taken immediate steps to prevent. That arrow key is extremely guarded. If an arrow key is not turned in at the end of a shift for any reason, the postal inspection service is to be immediately notified and whoever didn't turn it in to the accountable clerk would be immediately suspended pending investigation, possible charges and termination. Back in the 90s an arrow key was stolen from a carrier in an armed hold up. Every lock had to be replaced in the affected districts , immediately. The public never knew.
They need to do something about the post office workers working in the post office that steal money and gift cards and anything else they can!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
Exactly! I am fed up with not being able to send my grandchildren a gift card for their birthdays. The birthday cards are always returned to me, marked “damaged” and of course the gift card is missing. Thank goodness for Cash App, but a person shouldn’t have this problem to start with!
@@kellyshomemadekitchen Tell me about it!! Now I put grandkids birthday cards in the cardboard envelopes from the post office and send it that way because they can't open it!👍👏
Expect that to happen anywhere the pay is low. Grocery stores. Etc. anywhere. Tap. Don't use your pin. Especially if your card is for sn app financial product and not an FDIC insured bank.
@@amypola5903 i don't know about where you live but the postal workers here start out at 18.00 to 20.00 an hour they have NO EXCUSE TO STEAL!! I make less than any of them and I don't steal regardless of where I'm shopping at or buying things!
They do fire them I worked in po 30 ,years anybody got caught stealing mail fired and dealt with
I went to a small town (400 people) high school in the 70s, and a kid shot a BB through the Post Office window. Two FBI agents were out investigating the scene of the crime by the next day. They found the suspect and threatened to arrest him. He ended up just paying for the window.😂
Someone broke into my apartment's mail boxes once. No key needed. The post office took their sweet time replacing it. Everyone had to go to the post office to pick up their mail in person.
Mail only from inside post office.
Or by handing your mail directly to a mailman while delivering mail in a neighborhood.
Then keep your finger crossed.
@@Jeff-xy7fvWon’t do that either! It could end up sitting in the truck or who knows where else! The US mail is a disaster - even the delivery people can’t seem to read the number that’s in my mailbox in big numerals plus the numbers in my house!
So it can get stolen at the other end?
@@SDuapveer11 OK, so how would you suggest we mail stuff?
