To the Editor:
Twice over the last few weeks, while walking our dog, I have found stamped, unpostmarked mail in strange places near the road. In both cases, within a mile of Staples High School, the mail turned out to be very important communications including significant personal checks.
Upon investigation, it turned out that in both cases, the mail had been left in personal rural mailboxes for pickup.
While I have, as has at least one of the parties involved, notified the US Postal Inspector, I would recommend that Westport residents not leave mail for pickup in their street boxes unless they won’t be inconvenienced if it doesn’t get to its destination.
