This is very abundant across the nation.

These crimes weren't as bold before until criminals know nothing will happen to

[QuickStix]

I don't want to hear about arrests. We want to hear that these thieves are actually behind bars.

[StephenDavis-vhoc]

As a society we need to decide if it makes sense to punish people with consequences so that they don't do crime anymore. It's a tough one....

[Jdueuhehicnebjd]

Thank you USPS Inspectors. Our apartment mails got stolen three times. So we’re thankful

[sandray]

This is despicable, disgusting give them their sign back

Should be 20 year minimum prison sentence.

[Thomas-tugj]

Hopefully, there will be FEDERAL prosecution here where some significant sentences can be imposed.

[Cletus_the_Elder]

Thank you SCPD and USPS inspectors! Now, let's give these culprits long prison sentences.

[RavagHer]

seeing as stealing mail is a felony...should this person and anyone involved be charged with 130 felonies?

[leunam]

Arrested but never convicted. We will never hear about it again.

Good job on leaving finger prints all over the place

[gregcoyote]

Great work on the part of the Police . Unfortunately it’s California No cash bail and they’re already out of jail. Vote Trump, Fund the police please .

[warriorj]

Bring back mandatory prison sentences.

[scootle]

Stealing another person's mail--LOSE YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE AND LOSE YOUR CAR--PERMANANTLY!!!!

[michaelcrz]

Maybe USPS need to start using master key with combination lock to open the mail boxes. If the key is stolen, the thieves will still need the combination password.

These thieves deserve at least 1 week in jail.😮
