stupid mailman.
I respect what he does, especially in his weather...

I opened my mail, and one letter was from the Town Assessor saying that my property tax exemption was denied. WTF? That's a chunk of change added to my mortgage!

Then I noticed that it was for my neighbor. Excellent.

Still got me to call the Assessors office and make sure my exemption was still good.

Tampering w/someone else's mail.

Isn't that a federal offense? :D

I believe it is, and admitting to it online should be good for 2x the penalty no? :leaving:

A federal statute known as 18 USC Section 1702 makes it illegal to open correspondence addressed to someone else. However, the law cannot be applied if you did not recognize that the mail was not yours when you opened it. For example, if you received several items in the mail and were opening all the envelopes without paying particular attention to the addressee, it is conceivable that you could open mail that was not yours. Because you did not recognize the mail as belonging to someone else before you opened it, no crime has been committed.

now we are all informed
:D

Ignorance IS an excuse
