What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My roommate admitted another roommate stole my mail to create distress for me. She told me the roommate cut up and trashed my mail.
I have tried in the past to get a P.O. box but it is difficult in the city - there is a long wait period.
I did not receive my W-2 tax forms forms and contacted my employer to resend this week. I believe she took that mail to see what salary I make and to cause complications with my finances. Now, I have to make sure I am home to receive my mail. With my schedule, I am home only 1-4 times a week. I realize now that other mail I never received was most likely stolen too, and also the bag of clothing that I packaged to send to charity went missing before the mail person picked it up.
1.) Can I warn this woman that this is a federal crime? How should I manage this?
2.) Can I tape the roommate in conversation telling me this?
3.) These women are not citizens (not sure if relevant - but two are on extended visas for work/school and one is becoming a citizen through marriage but her husband is living with his girlfriend in another state). They are very defensive and high strung and don't take things lightly, so I am not sure if discussing that this is illegal would help or even register with them.
4.) The mailbox is located downstairs in the entrance between the outside door and building. There is not a way to place a camera without anyone noticing.
Thank you for your time and advice.
