A person in our neighborhood recently posted a doorbell video of someone rifling through their mail, presumably looking/feeling for holiday cards that might contain cash or equivalent.
This shit knows no bounds.

That's a felony, isn't it?
I mean, good luck getting the guy but you know what I mean.

It's a federal offense, which means it can be ignored by a different jurisdiction.

The USPS does not fuck around.

Unfortunately, they take a damn long time. I've been reporting a credit card mail theft scheme to USPS investigators for over a year and a half and they still haven't taken any action. It's upwards of $10,000+ in fraud from over a dozen victims; and a similar case in New York was just prosecuted, but no action taken in DC yet.

I’ve actually emailed several of the folks in charge at the USPS in DC, and received responses. If you’re interested, send me a PM and I’ll dig around for those email addresses.

The USPIS part of the postal museum is fascinating.
I mainly walked out of there thinking that it’s a shame that there’s no dedicated CSI-style USPIS show where they get to say cool stuff like, “Looks like justice [puts on sunglasses] . . .has been delivered.”

Better call Agent Jack Danger of USPIS

They have their own narcotics division. I wonder what kind of relationship they have with the DEA. Friendly rivalry, brothers-in-arms? Or are the DEA guys the high school jocks giving wedgies to the USPSIS nerds?

USPS technically was stolen from because every mailbox is USPS property. Check the bottom of your mailbox.
