Mailbox Chronicles

The other night we heard a loud bang out our front door!
We wondered what it was so we grabbed a flashlight
and went out to the street to see what happened!
Someone hit our mailbox
Someone really tore up their car because they lost the entire
passenger side mirror assembly and ripped the mount out of the door and
based on the glass on the street broke the the passenger window too.
Heavy duty locking mail box - 1
Speeding car - 0
So I pried the metal back so we can get the doors open.
Slapped some paint on it. Good enough!
Wait for the next time!
Mailboxes in our neighborhood seem to
have a drama all their own going on!
Bring up mailboxes to anyone and there will be a story!

LOL but I bet the driver doesn't find the humor in this. Wonderful 'repair' and photo! v

I had to laugh at this. I moved to PA last month, and within two weeks someone swiped and destroyed our mailbox plus 3 others on the same set up!

Tough mailbox. I need one like that.

Always an amusing story and now with a possible culprit.

What a story. Glad your mailbox won.
Actually mailboxes are not allowed in the front lawn here. Our is a mail slot next to our garage and the mail goes into a basket.
