Video: Stolen collection mailbox leaves Louisville woman questioning USPS

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A West Louisville woman said she’s concerned more people have lost money than the U.S. Post Office is letting on after someone stole a postal box.

The heist happened overnight March 1. Sandra Fant, who owns The Liquor Store on West Broadway, said dropped her mail in the box that night and grew concerned after companies called to say she had missed payments.

“I’m frustrated, because I take care of my business and I pay my bills,” Fant said. “I’ve never heard somebody talk about a mailbox being stolen. A whole mailbox?”

Fant looked at surveillance video from cameras around her store. They appear to show her getting into her SUV and driving to the postal box. Within an hour, a postman makes a scheduled collection. The box remains until dark, when it’s no longer visible on camera, and has disappeared by morning.

Adel Valdez, a Louisville postal inspector, said there are no suspects in the theft. Metro Police found the box the next day off Post Office property, he said.

Only one piece of mail was in the box, there were no signs that some broke into it, and no one else has called to report missing mail, Valdez said.
