• San Diego Couple Admit to Two-Year Mail Theft Spree (postalemployeenetwork.com) — Bonita residents should know that a Chula Vista–Spring Valley couple admitted in federal court to a two-year mail theft scheme that included the Bonita Post Office. Prosecutors say they stole checks and personal data from mail across the county, then used that information to impersonate victims at banks and cash altered checks, with sentencing set for June 25. 
• Morning Report: Skyline's Fire Station Is a Tent -- Still (voiceofsandiego.org) — Mail theft that stretched from Bonita to Pacific Beach is among several San Diego stories in this regional news roundup, highlighting a guilty plea by a local couple. While the piece focuses mostly on citywide issues like fire service and politics, it flags that Bonita residents were within the area targeted for stolen mail and check fraud.
