You can report it to the postal service. This is called "tampering with the mails" and its a serious offense.
If "someone" is your parents and you're a minor, though, you can't do anything about it. Your parents are your legal proxies and they have every right to open your mail, even if you don't like it.

Once you take the mail home, keep it in a locked box of some kind, such as a heavy safe that is not easily moved or broken into.
