Check out Architectural Mailboxes, featured in this NY Times article, a company that creates innovative design and quality mailboxes for their customers. They even have mailboxes that lock and protect packages and mail items. Even though it's against the law to steal mail, with the overall concern of Americans regarding safety, this is the perfect item to create and sell.
It reminds me of my own hometown where hardly anyone locks their door. A friend and his family went away on vacation and they left their house unlocked for a week - and nothing happened. When at home, I don't lock my car because it's not really necessary.
But when I came to Long Island, it was impressed upon me to always lock everything up because people will take anything you leave out. It makes everything more fearful and does not contribute to a sense of community and trust in your fellow neighbors.
The pictures below show how the mail is put in the slot and taken out through the back.
