It’s all in your mail: Bank accounts and credit card numbers, your most sensitive financial information. Just one case of mail theft netted thieves $150,000 dollars and left a trail of victims in their wake.

Police say a private citizen captured on video the moment a man drove up to her mailbox and removed the envelopes inside.

“We felt like we needed to do something. We did tape them putting their hand in our mailbox,” says Simone Khalin, a fraud victim.

Khalin and her family knew something was wrong when they began finding pieces of their mail in the road, along with envelopes addressed to different names in their mailbox.
