It's one of many headaches he's had to deal with since a thief stole his mail, and with it personal data listed on it. The thief used the data to apply for credit cards in Spina's name. Worse, when the thief was arrested for shoplifting and drug possession, he again used Spina's name.
Postal officials warn that Tucson is the nation's mail-theft capital.
They urge people to use caution in choosing where they send and receive mail. Spina's identity was stolen from mail delivered to his father's address. His father, Joseph Spina Jr., owner of Mama's Pizza and Heros, has a traditional mailbox with no lock in front of his residence. If this can happen to me, it can happen to anybody. According to the U.S. Postal Service Inspectors' Tucson office, the Foothills alone has seen 35 cases of mail theft since the beginning of the year.
