In Canada, a good portion of the mail I receive (including very private financial documents) has been torn apart and have obviously been "unofficially" opened. The mailbox for my street sits directly to the left of my house so I can see what the postman is doing. Basically, he takes the mail from the street post-box, dumps it all into his car, and drives away - he collects it like that for about 2-3 days in sequence and then comes back on days with nice weather to disperse all of the mail. Now aside from the delay this is not so bad but he gets confused if there is too much and I often get my mail screwed up with that of another family down the street.
It's a mess here in Canada.......
