Our neighborhood is neither as safe nor as savory as we once believed!
Oh, who are we kidding? This is the third time this has happened in eleven years -- definitely the most dramatic, though.*
Still, in our calculus, we have to add this to last week's petty theft of our neighbor's hay tarp and tractor fuel cans -- it's a veritable crime spree -- a spree, I tell you!
Now the question is, do we simply replace it with an identical box, or make . . . improvements -- Reinforcements? Bumpers? Booby traps? Or just let it be and think of it as the little fuse that separates us from local spikes of adolescent male energy . . . hmmmm.
*Honestly, it looks as though they'd gotten out of the car to give it an especially sound flogging -- backed up and gave it a second helping at the very least.

My parents had this happen several times. Finally, their neighbor, a welder, converted all their mailboxes (there are three in a row) to steel. They look normal, but they're extremely heavy duty. I don't know if the hoodlums have attempted the destruction again, but they definitely haven't been successful!
Omg she's blogging!
