- Whilst having no figures to back it up, I've mailed cash from the UK to the
- USA, Germany and New Zealand all without incidence so I think it's fairly
- safe. Unless someone is systematically stealing the mail of a person then
- the chances of a registration getting stolen must be small (just think how
- many pieces of mail go through the system...and a lot of it is automated
- sorting as well, so less people actually handle each envelope).
