text: Whiteaker has been dealing with this for the past three years. Most of the streetside group boxes have been broken into so many times it's a wonder they even close any longer. At least one apartment complex owner spent a lot of money buying beefier boxes that have stood up so far. EPD claims they put a detective on it, but there has been no sign of any progress or effort on his part.
  
  Jefferson Westside has also been dealing with this for the past year and a half. Apparently River Road area is also having issues.
  
  Basic things that civilized places have, like mail service and parks without human feces, are simply not priorities for Eugene's city manager. I guess the mail thieves aren't in his neighborhood. Apparently the burglars and car-jackers aren't either, and he's not exactly known as a man with any empathy.
