How to Report Mail Stolen Out of Your Mailbox
- 1). Contact the police if the theft is a matter of urgency, as recommended by the United States Postal Inspection Service. You can file a report over the phone or by going to the police station and telling an officer about the crime. The police may also come to you to take a report after you call them.
- 2). Go the United States Postal Inspection Service website and file a complaint. Click on "Mail Theft" to open a page for making a mail theft report.
- 3). Click on "Mail Not Received," and then fill in your name and contact information. Provide as many details as you can about the mail theft, such as from whom the article was mailed and to whom it was addressed. If you saw the thief, provide information including the name, address, physical description and vehicle of the suspect. If you have already contacted the police, note that you have done so, and include the police report number.
- 4). Fill in additional details in the "Description of Complaint" section, and then click "Submit Complaint." If you prefer to mail your report to the United States Postal Inspection Service, you can print out the document from the website, fill it in, and send it by U.S. Mail, or request a form from your local post office.
