    I believe that would be a federal crime...not good.

    If they nail you with mail tampering you are looking at the unique opportunity to live rent free for the next few years. You will get 3 square meals a day, access to a workout facility, the ability to learn martial arts, the chance to learn what the word "punked/punk'd" really means (and it's not Ashton's show), and the chance to have a same sex relationship.

    If it is your local police and not the Postal Inspectors then you might have gotten lucky.

    If you took it from a mail box or mail slot that was part of the Postal Service delivery system or at any time prior to it being received by the recipient from a Postal Service employee, anytime the mail is still considered in the possession of the Postal Service - it could be prosecuted as a Federal crime.
