And a solid concrete one at that?   :buggedout: :question:

On my way out to the bus this morning, I saw that my upstairs neighbors' - the house I live in is on connected property - concrete mailbox had been stolen during the night as it was there yesterday afternoon.

Not only was the mailbox solid concrete but it was also anchored into the ground!

Who the hell steals something like that and the plants around it too?  :buggedout:

Ah, now THAT explains why you were amazed. Good reason for it, undies man.

Well if it had a lot of metal I guess there would be scrap value. A few years ago someone went along big stretches of roads where I live and took up all the drain covers, presumably for scrap. A few broken wheels later the council had to put cones over every hole and then replace them presumably at great expense.

In your case if I had to guess I'd say: (A) drunk kids messing about thinking it is funny, (B) some kind of weird mailbox revenge

We get people stealing things for their metal value all the time here. The deserted house behind us was totally picked clean of all it's copper and other pipes and it stands as just an empty hull. They're working on repairing it now, but I can only imagine the expense to the landlord....

In a college psych class I took the teacher said doctors have identified people who are aroused by mailboxes. Just throwing that out there....

Yeah, maybe the guy was looking for a little male-on-mail action...

Or Postal Traumatic Stress Syndrome...

fedsex?

all I got.

Malevolent Mailbox Filching Fairies!

Aliens!  From crop circles, to cattle, now mailboxes!

I... would have to agree   :twirl:

The NSA is really getting desperate now. :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :twirl:

Somehow, they instinctively know when their time has come, and make the pilgrimage to the secret mailbox graveyard.

Weird, muscular guys that are looking for a new lifting challenge? 

When I was younger and we'd go on a booze cruise in the country, once we had a accumulated a bunch of empty beer cans in the car we'd stop at a large mailbox and use it as a bit of a trash receptacle.  Nice of those people to position those things so conveniently along all the roads.  :smile:

I spoke to my neighbour about it last week and most of what he said to me was unprintable, which is understandable.

I guess you could sell it for a bit of cash but really....?

Down here city jerks liked to ride around in their testosterone mobiles and bash mailboxes with baseball bats.

Hummm...some 1/4 inch steel tube, a bit of welding, you could have a nice side gig! "Swing at THAT, ya jerks!"
