Edmonton police are searching for the rightful owner of a collection of stamps and hockey cards stolen from locals mailboxes and underground parking garages.
On March 20, 2016, officers of the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) west division responded to a report of recovered stolen property in the area of 179 Street and 96 Avenue.
