Now, I'm not pointing the finger but I have to mention this other point.

The mailbox in the video is on Taraval by 23rd, just about 12 blocks from Toschi's house.
This point is interesting because there is this long standing rumor that Toschi forged up to 2 Zodiac letters.

and rumors have even suggested that he (Toschi) was identified as the author by DNA testing in the 1990s, though there have certainly been no official pronouncements to that effect by the SFPD or any other source. An FBI memo from August 1978 states that analysis of the April letter was discontinued "in light of recent disclosures ... indicating that David Toschi had authored one or more 'Zodiac' letters" 2 though it must be remembered that the FBI received this indication from the SFPD, and not through its own investigation. In fact, Toschi was eventually reinstated to his post as a homicide Inspector.

But there are lots of other mailboxes around in that area too,some much closer to Toschi.
