How useful is that? Someone could drive an hour, dump them all in a mailbox anonymously...

  Could be useful if triangulated with other information. And it's always possible that whatever mailbox they dumped them in was in view of a video camera or perhaps their car passed video surveillance (or walked by). Or maybe used an ATM nearby. Or paid a toll. People slip up. For that matter what about all that stuff about embedding things in printers (micro traces or whatever they are called). Otoh, I constantly get all sorts of scams from overseas wanting to charge me ridiculous amounts of money for trademark registries (approx. $2000 USD iirc) of zero value. They have been pretty consistent over the years and I'm guessing that even with the cost of foreign postage they are a net win for the perps. Otherwise I can't imagine they would keep sending them.
