People fish mail out of USPS collection boxes (I’ve witnessed it myself). It’s gotten so bad in my neighborhood that at close of business they lock the collection boxes outside of the USPS buildings in my area.

Ah. That's not really physically possible with those we have here - short of wrecking the thing or picking the lock.

I don't see why anyone would though. A bunch of stolen outgoing mail is going to contain nothing but boredom. Certainly nothing you could turn into easy cash.

Though I could picture vandals throwing firecrackers or something into them. In fact I remember something about a PO box burning down being on the local news some time ago. It certainly happens.
