Representatives have highlighted the vulnerability of mail carriers and mailboxes to criminal activity, with some advocating for legislative measures such as the MAIL Theft Act to enhance protections. Additionally, various congressional offices are actively assisting constituents affected by mail and check theft, with one office reporting over 125 cases of federal check theft assistance this year.
