Is this in anyway based on any facts whatsoever or is this something you weer once told and are now repeating?
A quick Google says it's up to 5 years jail for keeping misdelivered mail in the USA (depends on jurisdiction).

- failwhaleshark 5y agoIn the real world, those who act criminally in regards to mis-delivered and misaddressed mail: no one is going to jail for mis-delivered or misaddressed mail unless they offended the wrong important person or were dumb enough to get caught. Incidentally, we've been having numerous postal issues at my complex because it doesn't have a full-time carrier assigned to the route. It's so bad, I had to get a PO Box. My neighbors must be mostly thieves (keep) or too lazy (throw away) to bother correctly redelivering mis-delivered letters or packages most of the time. They are surprised like you're a fool for making an effort to redeliver them correctly. The complex is 98% white-collar, third-tier college graduates, single, between 24 and 35. I've had electronics, clothing, and random articles left in my box and at my door... these are mis-deliveries. Misaddressed mail would be wrong name but correct address.
