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

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....

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

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

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
