Have you ever been a victim of identity theft or know someone who has?

I have.  Let me tell you, it’s not very fun.  In fact, while trying to straighten out the mess caused by the thieves, it’s not uncommon to be put through the ringers yourself - from the endless phone tag with creditors to being treated as just about anything but a victim.

We hear the horror stories of complete identities being bought and sold for pocket change via black market internet auctions.  Naturally, we’re really particular about who we share any personal information with online and off.  But do you know where your private information is just as likely to be stolen from as any other place?

If you guessed the good old fashioned postal mailbox, you’d be correct.  Think of just how much personal data sits in a compartment right out on the street side that’s accessible by practically anyone who walks or drives by.  From bank statements to credit card applications - it’s full of your identity just waiting to be taken by any common thief.

However, there is a really simple solution: The locking mailbox.  It allows the mail carrier to drop the mail right in, but requires you personally to open it and remove the contents.

Locking mailboxes are really nothing new, but the Securelogic Keyless Mail Vault really is totally unique.  Instead of requiring an easily lost or forgotten key, you simple punch in your digits right on the built in keypad to unlock it.  It doesn’t get any easier than that!

That’s why it’s this week’s find of the week.  It solves a prevalent problem with a practical yet convenient solution.  Well done, Securelogic.
