Good point and I did talk to the lady and man in the two trucks that deliver our mail and they both said they do not take the keys out of the slot either. They said if you already lost the other issued key, you could not open your box to retrieve the one they could put in there, so they leave it. If someone puts your keys in an outgoing mail slot, that is dumped into a common mail back and goes back to the post office, where if noticed, is simply put into a box full of keys and they call it lost and found. The Lady at the post office said very very seldom does anyone come in to look for their keys. Well, I did and they were there, she just smiled and said spread the word.
