Default helping himself

I just went to the bonnybrook mail station and what should I see but a golf cart parked in front of the mailboxes not in the parking lot denying access to the mailboxes. If that wasn't bad enough he had his battery charger with him.plugged into an outlet helping himself to electricity. I hope he realizes what he was doing was a theft. And he should consider himself lucky he didnt get caught and that i forget my cellphone at home.

I'm sorry Karen, but the poor guy was probably stuck, out of battery and unable to get back home.
A real Villager would of had ask him if he needed assistance, not post hate on this site.....

Wish you took a pic so it can be used in the weekly electric versus gas thread.

So, that justifies block mailboxes and stealing electricity? No it don’t. You tow you’re cart home or call service. He should of been reported.

How is it stealing? If the electrical outlets are not available for use, why are they accessible? This resident did nothing wrong.

This was posted at 5:55 AM. Where was the guy going that early in an uncharged cart?
How do you get a dead cart over the curb to block the mailboxes?

People that steal from others and someone posts about it aren't "haters". That is a far left cultural term trying to get people to feel guilty about calling out bad people and thieves are bad people. Stop making excuses for bad behavior. I would never steal from a neighbor...perhaps those of you who call people haters are thieves as well.....hmmm?
So you just assume he is a crook? If he did it all the time he would have been reported by now.

Dear Lord. Let's try it this way:
'So that justifies blocking mailboxes and stealing electricity? No it doesn't. You tow your cart home or call for service. He should have been reported.'
Back to your regularly scheduled Karening.

Years ago we had the same thing happen at Sanibel postal station. I called the district 9 office and they said all electrical for the mail center and pool area are part of our amenity cost.

So you have posted a falsehood just to justify your inability to find out if it was wrong or not. You owe everyone an apology!

just ONCE it's not a crime??? A bit of common sense goes a loooong way. Clearly this is a challenge to many people.

How many times you do a wrong thing isn't what makes it wrong. If that were true someone could kill only once and it would be okay. Your logic is cosmically insignificant.

Come on people. Most likely he wouldn't have done such a dastardly deed if he wasn't too low on battery to make it home.
It's just a little electricity....
