Police also found mail, including junk mail and bills, belonging to as many as 13 local residents.

Victims Mike Garret and his wife Mary told NBC San Diego that were thankful to have their mail returned and commended the delivery driver for alerting authorities.

"He did his Job," he said. "He should get extra credit. He could have said, 'Eh' and kept going, you know?"

Green and Withers, who were already on probation for drug and weapons violations, were charged with mail theft and possession of stolen property.
