Theft of mail

Theft of mail refers to the illegal act of taking someone else's mail without their permission. This can include letters, packages, or any postal items. It is a federal crime in many countries, including the United States, because mail is considered the private property of the recipient. Such theft can involve stealing items from mailboxes, postal vehicles, or delivery personnel. The consequences of mail theft can include fines and imprisonment. To prevent mail theft, individuals are advised to secure their mailboxes and report any suspicious activity to authorities.
