‘Mail fishing’ is so bad in New Jersey, it’s now the focus of a federal investigation
Woodland Park, N.J. — Long a symbol of convenience and security to postal patrons, that iconic blue mailbox at the corner means something very different to thieves prowling the streets of North Jersey: a potential gold mine of checks to be cashed.
