City Council wants to prevent

City Council wants to prevent UPS and others like them from posting notices that say, "Unable to Deliver Mail" on your door.

"It is hereby declared that the posting of notification of the inability to deliver mail on the front door of a residence creates a public safety risk. Such postings not only notify the homeowner or resident of an attempt to deliver mail, they also notify all passersby of an unoccupied home. Given that homes are more likely to be burglarized when residents are away, these postings can create an easy opportunity for a potential burglar and encourage criminal activity, endangering the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of our City."

Makes sense, I guess.
