We still have our unsecure box...and did have mail stolen once. These days, we never put anything financial in the box with the flag up...not even a small check...those wait until we can make it to town. We have our bank hold new checks for us, so we can pick them up there, etc. Still, I probably should make the move to a more secure and tougher (plate steel) mailbox.

FWIW, I do feel your anger. I was P.O.ed for weeks...since the stolen mail contained a small Gerber pocketknife that I was mailing to a friend.
