About 4 years ago our brick mailbox was taken out by some teenagers that were street racing. The car that hit our mailbox at the time had an open tank of NOS gas (VERY flammable) in his trunk that started his car on fire. A fire that my neighbors and I had to put out. The kid was slightly injured and citations were issued by the police department to him. His parents insurance kindly paid to rebuild our mailbox. It was a NICE sturdy mailbox with a cement cap on the top and cement house numbers on each side. You could check the mailbox from both ends. It was nice--until today.....this is what we found outside today right after lunch. Nice, huh? Whoever did this didn't even have the courtesy to stop and claim responsibility. They just kept right on going--away from the damage they caused. They even left a few car parts behind for evidence. Now, we called the police but honestly, its gonna be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the guilty driver. It will cost us about $1,000.00 to replace it and have it as nice as the last one that was damaged and rebuilt. Really? Two mailboxes destroyed in a relatively short period of time? Who has this happen TWICE? What kind of lousy luck has perched itself on our shoulders? What are the odds................Terry and I could only look at the mess and start to laugh--two times just makes it a comical story to tell! We are collecting any loose change for the "Rebuild the Mailbox AGAIN Fund". Send your loose change to us--WAIT--we can't even receive mail--we DON'T have a flipping mailbox anymore!! Life just gets better and better! I'm smiling!
