Do you have a record...?
... a criminal one?I do but have been out of trouble for 20 years now. Mostly it was crimes related to my alcoholism at the time: shoplifting, breaking and entering and general breaches of the peace.
This was enough to get me a 6 month sentence of which I served 3.
I don't miss those days; it was so much hassle going to court, paying fines, being remanded, placed on probation etc. I think I was quite an angry person in my 20s and early 30s.

Re: Do you have a record...?
Here's another true story though it's not very funny.My Chinese neighbours in my stair have this habit of taking my mail into their house. I got quite cross when I found out that they had opened one which was a hospital appointment.
Their excuse is that the mother of one of them doesn't speak any English. I asked them if my name was in Chinese on the letter and if that was why they opened it. I don't think they got my sarcasm. It really annoys me.
Sometimes they will leave my post on my doorstep (I think the husband knows that they are clearly my letters).
One time they took in an Amazon parcel and signed for it. I had to knock on their door as my computer was showing me that it had been signed for. Again I asked them which part of the name on the parcel was in Chinese?
Apart from that they are good neighbours and are very quiet despite having both a baby and a toddler.

It is in the States.
Most people understand that it's illegal to open mail that's not addressed to you. ... Intentionally opening, intercepting or hiding someone else's mail is the felony crime of mail theft which comes with some heavyweight penalties, including five years' incarceration in a federal prison.15 Mar 2018
