A community in the Champions area is left feeling hopeless after they say thieves have hit their cluster mailbox at least six or seven times in the last year.
Jim Penn, president of the HOA for the Kings Row Townhome Community located on Champions Drive, said they do not know what to do about the problem.
He has had two driver’s licenses sent to him stolen. Penn said he finally had to have it delivered to a friend’s house nearby.
They have also gotten reports from residents in the 16-unit community having their insurance cards, tax bills, and packages taken.
Penn said they have reported it to law enforcement and the postal service and have not gotten a helpful response.
“We know it’s being broken into, but how do you stop it?” Penn asked. “That’s the big question.”
One resident who lives directly across from the cluster mailbox installed a camera that points directly at the box, hoping to deter thieves.
Since installing the camera, he has caught two instances of theft.
“They’re pretty bold. For that matter, they really don’t seem to care that somebody’s watching,” Penn said.
