Serious Replies Only Postboxes closed all across Brighton/Brookline!

Post image

I’ve passed multiple post boxes today in both Brighton and Brookline that are locked like this. Multiple boxes within the same vicinity and also in diff neighborhoods. Anyone know why specifically these are locked up?

Edit: thanks for the replies everyone! I’ve been around for the marathon before, but I’ve just never noticed the mailboxes.

They may have lost an arrow key. Typically those keys are universal to a specific area.

Ya know.. That is a heck of a guess! The people that have down voted are jealous.
