Going out of town for the holidays? Don't leave your mail home alone!

Hi, I'm Andrea Avery, United States Postal Inspector, with another holiday tip on keeping your mail safe.
00:15
Unattended packages and letters left in your mailbox are attractive targets for thieves.
00:20
But you can keep your mail safe from bad guys by having the Postal Service hold your mail while you're out of town.
00:26
If you're not going to be home for a few days, take advantage of the Hold Mail service at USPS.com.
00:32
Don’t make yourself - or your mailbox - a target. Keep your mail safe and secure at your local Post Office until you return.
