Mailbox update

This update is from David Wyse. (Thanks for doing this, David!)

I contacted the rural post office box department in Canada Post several weeks ago when our mail box was stolen. The person responsible for placement was away on holidays, but contacted me today. She said that currently, they don't have the budget to move the boxes but will install what she called "stabilization kits" that connect the boxes together making them much more difficult to steal and/or knock over.

Update 13 November: A mailbox has been stolen! Again!
Update 14 November: There were 9 mailboxes, then 8, then 9... It wasn't stolen! Canada Post took it to do minor repairs then replaced it the following day.

Surely in their wisdom Canada Post can move them to a less vulnerable location or secure them with some bollards at limited cost and far less aggravation on everyone's part - them included!

Well said, Charlie! Hopefully the "stabilization kit" will do wonders. :-)
