I havn't read the entire thread, but have you checked with the ICB - to see if anyone has been running up debts in your name?
All people need is a passport and a utility bill to get credit out in your name.

Identity theft is no joke.

Finally, somebody said it.
I think they are looking for enough information to steal your identity.

Had a big problem with Nigerian neighbours, who made my life hell, even the Guards witnessed it. They WILL play the race card. They complained to the local integration organization (or whatever it's called), who immediately branded me a racist without even talking to me. I sold up and moved (to another country). 'Twas the stray that broke my back.

Anywho, irrespective of what proof you get, you will be fighting a losing battle. Your best bet would be the management company.

I'm not sure if this will work, as I'm not familiar with all the workings to know if it would, but it's an idea, similar to the prize one.

Write a cheque for a couple of hundred quid and cancel it, get a friend to do it so they won't know it's you. Leave the name blank, so they can fill in their own. Get someone to mail it to you. When they cancel it, say that they're cancelling it because they just found out that your mail is being stolen, and you think it's for identity fraud. Whoever is stealing your post might try to cash it, and the bank should then have a record of what account they tried to pay it into. And they could even get done for fraud.

This is all detective crap here, and it'd probably only be legal if the guards authorised it. But hey this is AH.

Best real solution is see if you can get a wireless motion activated camera sending a signal to a computer installed. I'm sure there must be some place that rents them.

That's a great idea. It'll snap as soon as the first letter is put in

Seems there is no CCTV in the area of the post box. Type out a large A4 notice. Pin it to the back of the entrance door. AS below.

SOMEBODY IS ROBBING YOUR MAIL FROM YOUR POSTBOX!!
(not the op;s mail just generalise)

This should put all tennants on alert, it should not point the finger directly at the OP.

I am sure the tennants will pay more attention to whats going on.

Following that if you have more proof, pin another A4 on the back of the door indicating exactly who is robbing the mail. I am sure you will find a tennant who will stand up to them no problem, leaving you off the hook.


Chances are, if your neighbours are involved in what you say, there is somebody missing a very important cheque or whatever over the last few months!!!!

Voila.... sooner or later the pressure from the tennants will get them out.

Think ahead. Remember these type of people with plenty of time on their hands, will always go on the offensive, and will only lose out to a general concensus that their little game is up.

Hope I'm not flogging a dead horse here, but how did this turn out for you OP?? any Updates?

use one of those pinhole cameras and set up a dummy back to the mail box so they wont see it? the cheque idea is very good one though, immediately ties who ever it is to the crime and they cant try weasel out of it. only one way they got the envelope. cant surely be considered entrapment.....can it?

either that or start mailing yourself all sorts. body excretions / fluids, dead insects, powders (as previously said). you could keep a running diary here of what u send them every day.

You could try sending a fake note saying it's from the Management company stating 'We are aware of a number of postal items going missing and are monitoring the situation closely. Please be extra vigilant'. Only post it to your neighbour and then if the stealing stops, then it's likely you've found your culprit.

The chances are they dont own the apartment and that they're only renting.
Find out who the owner/landlord is and make a complaint to him..keep at it till he evicts them.
Nobody should have to put up with crap like that from blow-ins.
