Brad sends in this note from the Decatur PD regarding ongoing snail mail theft in Oakhurst.

Oakhurst Residents,
Please be advised we are currently experiencing mail thefts in the Oakhurst area. Suspects are taking outgoing mail from mailboxes prior to the mail carrier picking it up. They are also taking mail that has been delivered and not yet picked up by residents. Please DO NOT place outgoing mail, especially that containing checks and bill payment slips with account numbers, in your mailboxes. Take it to the post office or give it directly to the mail carrier if possible.

Also, call 911 IMMEDIATELY if you see anyone hovering/loitering/tampering in or around your or your neighbor’s mailboxes if you do not recognize them. Please get a physical description of the suspect, a description of what they are wearing and description of a vehicle, if they are using one, and which direction they are walking or driving.
