MAILBOX TAMPERING<br />
When a mailbox is put into use for the purposes of sending and receiving<br />
mail, it becomes federal property.<br />
Mailbox tampering is considered any act that interferes with another<br />
person’s letter box or other receptacle. This can include:<br />
• destruction of the mailbox itself<br />
• theft of mailbox contents<br />
• the placement of items in a mail receptacle by persons<br />
other than postal employees<br />
• any action intended to obstruct or damage mail or mailbox property<br />
In short, anyone, other than mail recipients and postal employees,<br />
should NOT touch a mailbox or its contents.<br />
BE AWARE OF THEFT POTENTIAL<br />
Many of us have a habit of leaving the garage door open when we are<br />
working or relaxing in the backyard. Unfortunately, people in virtually<br />
every neighborhood lose property to opportunistic thieves this way<br />
every year. Bicycles and power tools are just a few of the commonly<br />
stolen things and keep in mind that it only takes a matter of seconds<br />
for something of significant value to “walk away.” Please keep those<br />
doors down when you are not in eyesight of the garage.<br />
HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL<br />
In order to increase compliance and spread awareness, our office is<br />
requesting your assistance in informing residents in your community<br />
through your HOA newsletter or your scheduled HOA meetings of the need<br />
to obtain a permit for operating an alarm system, residential or business,<br />
within unincorporated Harris County. Many residents and businesses are<br />
unaware of the requirement to obtain an alarm permit once an alarm<br />
system has been installed and activated by the alarm company. Alarm<br />
systems are established and defined in the Local Government Code 233<br />
(subchapter D), as well as the authority to regulate, adopt rules and im-<br />
