Scripps News reported:
A Scripps News investigation finds more postal workers are getting attacked for the master keys they carry that unlock scores of mailboxes.
U.S. mail carrier Jeremiah Grant was walking his Oklahoma City route in April 2022 when a masked man approached him.
The attacker demanded Grant hand over his universal mailbox keys, known in the U.S. Postal Service as arrow keys.
“That's all he asked for,” Grant said. “He wanted my keys.”
One arrow key can open many mailboxes in a delivery area.
They’re so valuable that it’s against federal law for an unauthorized person to be in possession of one.
