(In other words, you asked for it!) I learned from a Phil of Language course many years ago that the words we choose to use are pretty important and reflect an underlying societal worldview. I agree there is a subtle but important difference between the expression “stolen mail” and the expression “mail identity theft”. A derelict teenager in the neighborhood steals your mail. "Mail Identity Theft", on the other hand, is part of an organized antisocial epidemic that is threatening to undermine our institutions. Order and cooperation in society require that people believe in the ability of our institutions to maintain themselves. Chaos and Uncertainty does not rest well in the human psyche! We want to believe we are "in control". The truth is, whether we are prepared to admit it or not, there are a growing number of people who believe they are entitled to pillage and plunder, and they do.

Wherever an opportunity exists for some people to get easy money, they will do it. The fact that stolen mail leads to identity theft is just a consequence of human behavior and the words used to describe it differ. I don’t think this is a coincidence at all.
