But the first attempt is always at the residence.
But anyone can forward MY mail by dropping off a little card in the post box. Wouldn't it make more sense if the Post Office required a valid drivers license shown in person with a request to forward my mail? Please help me understand this. Especially when so many confidential things come in the mail (credit card statements, retirement account savings statements, insurance paperwork etc.)
