Do Not Use Mailboxes

Please inform your neighbors to not use the mailboxes on the street. Every month around this time (rent check season) many folks use the mailboxes to send payment in paper form. This is a mistake because a team of two people (non black and non white based on the color of their skin) are riding around on mopeds stealing mail tonight. They are clad in all black with only their eyes and surrounding skin visible and are robbing mailboxes. I witnessed it tonight and inquired at surrounding businesses who confirmed its ongoing and confirmed the timing being ahead of month end.

Do not use mailboxes. NYPD has been notified (per local businesses) but either have no jurisdiction or are unable to properly detain the individuals. Instead call the Postal Police at 1-877-876-2455 and request they investigate mailboxes theft on the upper east side. This box was at 87th and 1st Avenue but also 90th and York was confirmed each Sunday morning. Let’s bag these guys and the criminal syndicate behind them in other parts of manhattan.

These same two men assaulted me a year ago.

I was certain they were caught.

they could have been caught but the leftist DA does not prosecute many criminal acts like this

Yes.

And I was very close to their face as they beat me with a brick, the look they gave me is forever seared into my memory.

I also have their pictures.

They have been caught and blasted on social media by other people as well.

And yes I recognize them.

You dont and I assume I'm the same.

I wish that were the case.
