Of course it's illegal and thus by definition unethical. Because he's doing it without permission. He certainly should get the addresses changed. But that does take a loooong time (been there/done that). Until he can get the addresses changed, what if asks for permission to get just the catalogs from the mail box. If he has permission would it be unethical to get the catalogs?<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>Gary Zeune, CPA, Founder <BR/>The Pros & The Cons <BR/>World's only speakers bureau for white-collar criminalsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166579.post-26711836155348496682007-09-23T18:27:00.000-04:002007-09-23T18:27:00.000-04:00Where we live in a manufactured-housing village, w...Where we live in a manufactured-housing village, when a place is sold and a new owner moves in, the post office changes the lock on the mail box and the new owner if given the key(s).

Of course it is wrong to keep the key, but I'm concerned about the seller's mistrust of the buyre: Why didn't he just ask the buyer to forward copies of mail to him, and maybe give him a half dozen pre-addressed mailers (with postage) to send him any mail that came?.<BR/><BR/>Jan Bohren<BR/>ETHOS21st@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166579.post-2398115444251631312007-09-23T12:24:00.000-04:002007-09-23T12:24:00.000-04:00The right thing - the only thing that makes sense ...The right thing - the only thing that makes sense - is for him to give the key to the rightful owner of the box.
