Mail Thieves in Billings Get Caught-Taking Pictures

Billings mail thieves get caught-well sort of. They get caught taking pictures of a woman’s mail, then they place it back in the mailbox.

It was kind of a bizarre set of circumstances but definitely interesting.

BILLINGS — A mother in Billings recently gave credit to her neighbor across the street and the relationship they’d formed weeks after her family moved to town for helping drive mail thieves away from their West End neighborhood.

“I feel like in our neighborhood; the neighbors are kind of watching out of who is driving around and who is stopping and what people look like and know them. So I got lucky,” said Robin Mahler who moved to town in November.

A few weeks back on a Sunday afternoon, Jason Giudice looked out of his window in the Harvest Subdivision and saw two women drive up to Mahler’s mailbox. He said the women pulled mail out of the box and started taking photos of the envelopes.

Giudice saw the unfamiliar people and went outside to confront them. They spun him a lie about how they used to live at the address, Giudice said.

“I guess the alarming part for me was just how confident and how calm she was and just very serious. And very, very, almost convincing. If I didn’t know my neighbors and didn’t know my prior neighbors, it might have been a believable story,” Giudice said.
