Naomi, I've had credit card statements taken from my exterior mailbox before on 48th between Chestnut and Market Sts. I've had a PO box for the last 3+ years and have continually had my important legal/financial mail sent there as well as other mailings and parcels. You just can't trust outdoor mailboxes anymore. It's a damn shame.
