I'd be getting me a post-box at the post office ASAP
I'd be inclined to put a note up saying that unfortunately someone in the
building sees fit to open/keep others mail. and remind them that is is theft
and fraud. (looking up applicable notes in the law to refer to.
*and* I'd complain bitterly to the land lord till he/she put up separate
mailboxes (on the wall outdoors if necessary)
in fact I would be inclined to tell my landlord that he/she should do
something about it or you will dock some of the rent till it's fixed,
setting said docked rent on a separate account so as to show you are not
trying to pay less rent but that you are trying to get your mail delivered
safely as is your right - it's not the postman's fault you are not getting
mail but the landlords for not having a proper way of getting the mail
delivered for the separate flats. this is of course IMNSHO and would be
within the law in NL but I am of course not up to speed with UK laws on
this.
now I do so hope your block makes it safely!

This really is totally off topic:
I'm furious - I use a loyalty card at the local supermarket (Tesco). It
gives me points and 4 times a year vouchers are sent out based on number
of points earned.
Well, in May my envelope did not arrive. I called them and they
transferred the points back in the account. Then, I should have gotten
the next envelope by Sep 10. Today I called to check, since it did not
arrive. Apparently, the vouchers inside had already been spent at my
local supermarket. The points will be added back to my account, for
arrival in November - I did ask fro the mail to be sent to me at a
different address!
However, this means that either
(1) the mail man/woman stole it or
(2) someone in my building did
I'm guessing (2).
In my building there is one slot for mail in the front door, with 5
flats/apartments in the building. So all the mail is delivered through
the slot, and we sort it ourselves.
Of course, Tesco (wanting the extra advertisement) send out these
envelopes in company colours with "Club Card points inside" plastered
all over them.
Now, I want to go home and leave a notice for everyone in the building
to see, but I want to be reasonable - after all I don't know who if
anyone in the house had dinner (think steak and wine - easily) for my
money. I was thinking of phrasing it as a warning to be careful with
your mail.
Several more of my mail has been opened over the last few months - maybe
I should be looking for new digs after all.
What would you do? Or write on that note?
Thanks,
Hanne in London
