Craziest/coolest crime story you know about the USPS?
The United States Postal Inspection Service has existed in some form longer than the united states itself has, when Benjamin Franklin appointed the first "surveyor" over oversee the mail (make sure there were no mail crimes happening) in, I think, 1772. They have a conviction rate of 98% which is probably because if you're dumb enough to do mail crimes and it's discovered I mean. If you do mail crime and no one ever learns about it, obviously you can't be charged, if you do mail crime and it's discovered and you get CAUGHT then I think the conviction rate is probably so high because they just have you dead to rights.
A fun fact related to mail crimes: The reason spam mail is listed as "To our friends at (address)" or "(name) or current resident" is because it is ILLEGAL to open mail for someone else. The only way they can mail out the coupons or whatever they might be selling to as many people as possible, and for it to be legal for the recipients to open it, is for who it's addressed to to be vague.
Annual reminder than if you think/know someone is stealing/damaging/destroying your mail then you can try to get in contact with your local postal inspector. They take these crimes very seriously, and it is a federal felony (in the US) called "Obstruction of Correspondence"
As for the craziest mail crime??? A person from the Postal Inspector Forensics Lab (probably not the actual name) was the person who realized all the bombs sent by the unabomber were the same person, and this is part of what led to his arrest. I don't know how much everyone is familiar with that case but he sent the bombs by mail.
Other than that the anthrax attacks in 2001 were done by mail, though I am not super familiar with it and couldn't tell you how crucial the Postal Inspectors were in figuring out the case.
