ABSTRACT:
A mailbox includes a housing having a front portion and being formed from transparent material so that a user may view inside the housing from an exterior thereof. A front door is pivotally connected to the housing and preferably includes a transparent portion disposed substantially medially between a perimeter thereof. A cover plate is removably positionable in front of the transparent portion for preventing a person from seeing therethrough and into the housing. A locking mechanism releasably maintains the front door at a closed position. A plurality of members are pivotally connected to the housing and movable between up and down positions for covering the front transparent portion of the housing so that a person cannot see inside the housing when standing at an exterior thereof.
