hey mermaid - i just saw on the wish tv 8 website people had a bunch of mail stolen in zionsville - what a bummer ! we had that exact thing happen to us 2 years ago, and it was a huge mess. they ended up cashing two $500 checks on our account that of course bounced because i had just paid bills. i have never thought about people taking stuff right out of your mailbox, esp. in broad daylight, but they hit several subdivisions in this end of town and caused a lot of headaches. thankfully i didn't have any personal info on the check just address and phone number, and we changed our checking account within one day of it happening. it helped to be obsessed with the internet and checking my bank balance all the time !
