The Sheriff won't come, have to get form on line and snail mail with photos. The Post Office says my old box is not tall enough and to come in and they will give me the height requirements because the contracted carrier drives a 4-wheel drive vehicle and I have to build it taller. What happens when the contracted carrier changes and they drive a normal size car? I will probably have to lower my mailbox. Since this is in a really rural setting, I can do nothing in response. The Post Mistress told me I can rent a box in town, but that she does not have any large boxes and my mail volume is too much for the little boxes they have available. No service here, only rules you cannot keep track of and people who do not assist. My curbside box was destroyed overnight, along with those of my neighbors along a 6 mile stretch of road.
