The postal service has recently been a victim of a lot of theft targeting checks. People are willing to rob postal workers at gunpoint for their box key. Then, thieves sift through all the letters for a chance of finding a check.

Worse, they have ways of “washing” the check to turn it into a blank check, and reuse it with a new amount and recipient.
