Don't leave outgoing mail in an unlocked box. Take it to work, drop it in a collection box, hand it to a letter carrier or take it directly to the post office.  If you have to leave outgoing mail in your box, do it immediately before the letter carrier comes, and don't raise the mailbox flag.  Avoid leaving mail in a box on Sundays and holidays, when letter carriers don't work.  Install a lock on your box. This can be done by placing the lock on your mailbox and then cutting a small slit in the mailbox that is large enough to slide mail through, but which is not big enough for a hand to fit in. Residents also can purchase a mailbox with a lock already on it for roughly $20 at a hardware store. In both cases, you will not be able to have outgoing mail picked up.
Who suffers: Check washing costs banks and merchants "hundreds of thousands of dollars" a year, and ultimately we the consumer, pay for that in higher fees or prices.   If the check was in the mail but creditors are hounding you for payment, it may be that some clever mail thieves snagged your check to pay their own debts.
