   The PostMaster General won't even look at anything less than $10,000 
USD, at least in domestic cases.  My boss suffered ID theft a couple of 
years ago, and the <expletive deleted> that hijacked his cards literally 
ran about $9950 on each account.  She did so by submitting 
change-of-address affidavits by mail, which made it mail fraud, but 
since no single card was defrauded by more than $10k, the PO never even 
looked at it, even though my boss put proof in their hands and even 
though they were aware that the same individual had gotten away with 3 
other instances, doing the same thing.
