I was just watching an American film and thought, "Why don't kids
steal everyone's mail?" In the UK, most people have the mailbox
INSIDE the house (or simply a letterbox opening in the front door).
Surely kids are tempted to nick American mail, especially as it's
right on the street.


That's always been a concern of mine. I try to only put mail in the box a
few hours before delivery time and empty it soon after - hard to tell so
need to guess, depends on carrier and day of week. So far, so good, AFAIK.
Also, isn't the US Post Office a federal agency so wouldn't mail theft be a
federal crime? If so, maybe helps prevents it, or at least reduce it?
