Mail theft is also punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. But prosecutions have hit a record low.
Data analyzed by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University shows a 41% reduction in prosecutions for postal crimes compared to 10 years ago. The Postal Inspection Service did not immediately respond to questions as to why.
