San Luis Obispo County Sheriff deputies are looking for a burglar who broke into the Santa Margarita Post Office on the evening of Jan. 26.

Shortly after 5 a.m. on Jan. 27, a 911 caller reported a break-in at the post office on El Camino Real in Santa Margarita. It was later determined the thief left with multiple packages.

The latest burglary makes at least six times thieves have broke into the rural post office, according to the landlord. The landlord is looking at installing a metal door, he said.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is working with the San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Office on the investigation, according to the postal service.

Is this the time of year to steal personal information or the time of month to steal live checks or just help yourself to whatever because the U.S. Post Office has no security standards for their building? Private, roadside mail boxes are understood to have no security and for that reason many prefer a P.O. Box. Seems like we are in an open everything era. Heaven forbid trusting your digital world too, as in zap it’s gone and you have to investigate the existence of nothing.

When the landlord puts in a new door ask him to come up to Paso to fix that one. Only been a year or so it’s been broken

“The latest burglary makes at least six times thieves have broke into the rural post office, according to the landlord. The landlord is looking at installing a metal door…”


Jeez, what’s the big rush? Why not just wait for another SIX break-ins, THEN look at installing a metal door??????
