Diary Saturday 21st January 2017 A day when I had to pay a monthly bill that always goes out on the 21st of the month otherwise I would have stayed in all day, but as I was out I made the most of the opportunity to get some basic food shopping in too. Diary Sunday 22nd January 2017 A creative writing workshop day, and quite a relaxed one where we mostly chatted informally about our writings with a few readings based on projects in progress from some attending authors. I returned to the flat where some of my neighbours were expressing concern about possible mail thefts as one neighbour has had some bank cards go astray and we discovered how easily mail can be taken out of our mail boxes from outside the building just from reaching in to the mail boxes without opening the doors. Creepy. I have had little mail these last few weeks though I’m unaware of any of mine going astray at present. We are considering having CCTV installed to watch for possible sources of the thefts.

A well-placed mousetrap, perhaps?

We are trying to get all of our mail online, but it isn't as easy as we thought. Hope the CCTV works out for you.

Sounds like a productive weekend. Mail theft? Sound the music. **Insert sound effects here.**

It is such a low act to steal mail. There are better things to do than try to work out how to thwart these despicable characters.
