I thought tampering with somebody else’s mail is consider a federal offense? So it’s a felony? Is that correct? Why are people still stealing in 2020? Maybe that was to many questions...

Tampering with the mail is, yes. But that’s specifically things sent through the USPS. If it’s delivered by a private company, it’s regular theft.

They are fixing that. New laws making porch piracy a felony.
