In the 1920s, robbery of the U.S. Mail got so bad that Marines were dispatched throughout the country to guard mail trains, post offices, etc. Conditions have obviously improved since then.

It seems the US Postal Service stands more of a risk by just driving their trucks around town. Here are some examples of recent mail truck fires ... maybe they just wanted to BBQ their lunch (...or their mail)!
