A community mailbox in Bedford was left wide open on Thursday morning after a Canada Post worker forgot to close the door.

A video posted online shows the Doyle Street community mailbox open, with no postal workers nearby.

"Nobody here from Canada Post in sight," said Chuck Rockwell, the man filming the video.

In the first few seconds of the video, he states Thursday's date and says it was 11:43 a.m. when he began filming.

"Packages are in this mailbox, letters. And it has just been left right wide open," Rockwell says from behind the camera.

John Caines, a spokesperson for Canada Post, said it was an "unfortunate mistake" and not a security breach.

"The panel on the community mailbox on Doyle Street in Bedford has been secured and no mail was compromised," he said.

This isn't the first time the community mailboxes have had problems with security.

Earlier this year, a Halifax family found the key that opened their personal slot in a community mailbox also opened other slots. A similar problem was discovered in Bedford in October 2014.

The box on Doyle Street has now been closed. According to a Canada Post official in Ottawa, the panels were left open for 15 to 30 minutes. Rockwell — who lives down the street from the box — said he found the panels open around 11:40 a.m. and they remained open until 1:30 p.m.
