Considering the post office has thier own seperate police force with thier own training and rules and take mail tampering or theft very seriously, a criminal could certainly try but I doubt any attorney is going to be willing to get within a hundred miles of that case lol

Wouldn't the case be against the homeowner who rigged a glitter bomb and not the post office?

No, I'm saying that if a criminal brings that kind of a case forward, that means they have to admit to tampering with someone else's mail, which is a federal offense that the post office has thier own specific police to deal with.

Oh I see. Yeah, if they get roped into it, then the thief better have a really good fucking lawyer.
