> That's why there is rampant CMB theft

Rampant? 4800 issues reported in BC over a 5 year period[1], in a province with over 20,000 community mailboxes. Issues include non-theft things like graffiti and other vandalism. Haven't found more detailed info, would appreciate a link if you have one.

The article says there are currently 20,000 mailboxes. It doesn't mention how many there were in 2008 - it sounds like community mailboxes are increasing rapidly.
