It is against the law to place items in someone's mailbox because only authorized postal workers are allowed to access mailboxes, as defined by federal law. This helps ensure the privacy and security of mail delivery.
18 U.S.C. 1725 states: "Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, in any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined under this title" "TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 83 > Sec. 1725" Legal Information Institute http://answers.Google.com/answers/threadview?id=288629 It appears that violation of this provision is an infraction, carrying a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual, or not more than $10,000 for an organization.

No, that is against the law because someone ELSE is probably going to live there once it opens for renovation! Just because some one is not there anymore doesn't mean you can commit a federal offense.
Yesssssssssss
They don't really take away your mail unless you have done something against the law or something like that to make them do that, but sometimes they don't deliever your mail if your mailbox is full and they just keep it until you clean it out.
I'm thinking yes...?
It is a federal offense and a felony to tamper with someone's mail and mailbox. The mailbox is actually considered the property of the post office, no matter who bought it.
yeah.
only if it is still attatched to someones shoulders
It may depend on your motive for doing so, but generally yes, if it isn't yours!

They don't have a law on something that doesn't exist.
