possible identity theft

I mailed some tax forms to the US via Estafeta in Cihuatlan on Friday morning
using the 3 day service to the IRS in Texas. Using the tracking number the package
made it to Manzanillo but has yet to make it to Mexico City.
I am concerned that someone may try to steal my identity from the information
on those documents and am wondering if anyone has any experience in this area.
By the way, Estafeta is a joke. They didn't have mailing envelopes, I had to
go to the stationary store next to the office and buy one. They did not give me
an official receipt for the $550 pesos charge, the mailing label was hand written,
and the girl working there couldn't stop texting long enough to serve me uninterrupted.
Never again will I use that service.
Any assistance appreciated.

I finally got a hold of someone who knew their business, they told me
to go to scroll down on the tracking page and click on a UPS number which
then gave me the updated tracking information. This did not show up as I did
not have my browser set to full screen, arghhhh, my bad I guess. Screen shot below.

Just as a test, before we left, Lyle mailed a letter to himself in an official Air Mail envelope we bought at the stationary store. 1 page letter, could not be easier. 11 1/2 pesos, watched the guy put the stamp on in Melaque. I wrote the date on the envelope. It showed up here in Denver alright . . . . . 42 days. Nice!
