USPS encourages signups for new tool to fight mail theft

Police are encouraging you to sign up for a new tool to fight mail theft. It's a free service from the US Postal service called Informed Delivery.

When you sign up, the Postal Service starts sending you photos of the mail you're getting that day. The images are taken as your mail goes through sorting equipment. Police say the tool can help you alert police if something is missing.

Right now, the service is limited to letter size mail.
