After one too many mail thefts I bought this locking mailbox. Pro it locks, tho I think it could probably be picked with no problem by a pro. Con the bigger mail items (larger than letter size) hang up inside the box, taking up way too much room and jamming the entrance. Plus if I had thought twice I would have purchased a mailbox with a rounded top so that rain would not collect on its roof. But it is sturdy as heck.
