If you can give it to your mail carrier they can also scan it accepted and it goes on the same truck. You can put it in the box with the flag up but I have opened a lot of mailboxes like that and they were empty!
Sticky fingers are everywhere Jim. I am trying to hold out hope that it was just a simple "missed scan" and it will eventually get a hit in the receivers city. I have no choice but to hope for that.
