January 2014, Attention Members:  Billings has been experiencing a lot of mailbox theft, and it happened to one of our members. Thieves stole her mail in her mailbox and altered her check. They presented the check, with ID, to one of our tellers who thought it looked suspicious. Fortunately, this attempt was stopped, but if you think it can’t happen to you, think again. Please do not put any bill payments in an unsecured mailbox.
