Gangs of criminals are targeting Victorian Royal Mail Post Boxes. There are as many as 800 different types of post boxes in Great Britain and unusual ones can fetch up to £5,700 at auction! The post boxes have risen in value since the Royal Mail stopped selling them in 2003. They are being stolen for a number of reasons primarily heritage, contents and scrap metal value.
Up to 100 post boxes are stolen every year including recently four Victorian ones from Norfolk villages. This significant threat has meant that the Royal Mail are now having to use hi tech equipment in the form of forensic tags, permanent metal-marking and electronic tracking to safe guard this national image!
