The U.S. Postal Service has agreed to add two more postal inspectors in the Albuquerque office.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made Friday by U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham. The New Mexico Democrat met with the chief postal inspector last year after hearing from constituents about mail thefts. Rep.
