Protect your mail while you are away!

With warm weather coming and summer almost here, vacations are being planned. It is important to make sure your mail is secure whether planning to leave for an extended time period or just gone for the day at work. Here are a few tips:

·         Never send cash or coins in the mail. Use checks or money orders.

·         Promptly remove mail from your mailbox after delivery, especially if you’re expecting checks, credit cards, or other negotiable items. If you won’t be home when the items are expected, ask a trusted friend or neighbor to pick up your mail.

·         Have your local post office hold your mail while you’re on vacation, or absent from your home for a long period of time.
