Can i keep mail delivered to me by mistake

The temptation to keep something that doesn't belong to you!

In general, it's not recommended to keep mail that was delivered to you by mistake. Here's why:

  1. It's not yours: The mail belongs to someone else, and keeping it without their permission is considered theft.
  2. It may be important: The mail may contain important documents, bills, or other critical information that the intended recipient needs to receive.
  3. It may cause inconvenience: Keeping someone else's mail can cause inconvenience and delay for the intended recipient, who may be waiting for important documents or packages.

If you receive mail that was delivered to you by mistake, it's best to:

  1. Return it to the sender: If you can identify the sender, you can return the mail to them. You can do this by contacting the sender directly or by taking the mail to a post office and asking them to forward it to the correct address.
  2. Contact the post office: If you're unable to identify the sender, you can take the mail to a post office and ask them to help you return it to the correct address.
  3. Donate it: If the mail is junk mail or not important, you can consider donating it to a local charity or recycling center.

Remember, it's always best to handle mail responsibly and return it to its intended recipient if it was delivered to you by mistake.
