Cool story. I don’t know a single person in my area with a letterbox let alone a locking one. It’s just not something we have in the more rural areas.
Unless this is a language thing. To me, a letterbox is generally attached to a house, often it’s just a slot on the front door. And a mailbox is on a post near the street (and generally they do not lock)
It’s one of those opportunity crimes where the easiest victim generally picked. It usually comes down to just two things:
How many people see your porch
How easy is it to walk up and walk away?
You’d be surprised how much of a deterrent a mild inconvenience is. You’ll get significantly fewer packages that walk off if you live on a big hill, or have a bunch of steps, where it’s mildly inconvenient for someone to walk up.
I am absolutely sad when I get a bag of broken chips. And it definitely works you can test it yourself with some ziplock bags. There most likely is some shrinkflation hidden in that air, but the majority of it probably is playing an important part for people like me who love their chips but hate the crumbs.

I don’t know why you’re being down voted. As a Spanish speaker, it’s a definite limitation of the language. Where is the penis on a pen, or the vagina on a pencil? Not everything needs a gender, even if you take a firm stance on the existence of non-binary people.
I got the joke, but it’s just not funny. It’s overused so much I was fully expecting someone to say it as soon as I hit the comments. It’s a part of the “only joke” series right leaning people make about non-binary people being “attach helicopters” and it comes up every time the subject comes up on the Internet.
Don’t ask don’t tell failed because the stigma of being different forces you into silence and trying to conform.
Do I want to hear if you’re a “top” or a “power bottom”? No. I don’t want to hear about anyone’s bedroom preferences.
That doesn’t mean that I want you to never talk about your significant other, regardless of their gender.
You can separate bedroom preferences from love preference, and the inability to do so speaks pretty loudly about how you view your own relationships.
Please explain? After doing some quick googling, it looks like my interpretation is pretty accurate. But again this could be due to localized results. I’m not going to pretend all English speakers use the same words for the same things.
You could drop the hostility though.
