Soak Box.

What's a" soak box"? As in:
The old ladies had been sending in letters to Nekalayla filled with money and they weren't getting any thankyou notes or responses. Nekalayla told the P.O. and the P.O. put the Eye on Matthew. They found him opening letters down at the soak box, taking money out."
Cheers.

Please cancel this question before I make myself look more stupid. It's just dawned on me that the soak box mnst be a box of special liquid at the Post Office, where they unseal letters - ones without proper addresses on, for example. Answering my own enquiry; how sad this is.

Au contraire. Someone had to answer, because upon reading the subject line I thought sure it based on a mis-hearing of "soap box". But that was clearly not the case when the context was supplied; and if someone you're as good as anyone else for the purpose had not answered, I'd probably have tossed and turned all night, wondering.
