Default Mischief at the mailboxes

I realize that we are all here to enjoy ourselves and some perhaps to relive our youth. But seriously, it's pretty immature; sadly immature; to mess with a "neighbor's" mailbox!

We put a sticker for a family owned restaurant we enjoy in NC on our mailbox to help us locate it quickly.

Some idiot tore it off! All the others around ours have stickers, they all seem to be intact. Our was not off color, political or in any way offensive. So what's the deal? Just some jerk showing his true colors?

I'm sure the intent was to pi$$ someone off. And they were successful. It's just so juvenile that I certainly didn't see that coming in America's Friendliest Hometown.

What happened to respecting the rights of others??

Sorry for you grief. Some people just can't leave stuff alone even if it is no business to them.

Wasn't this happening to someone else recently, like beginning of the summer?

I wish they'd get mad enough to pick up cigarette butts!

I would never remove anyone's sticker but I have to admit I think they junk up our mail stations. No one should remove your sticker but it's really not that hard to find your mail box. Sorry someone took your sticker. I guess they think they are the mail box police.

Not really something to get excited about. Memorize your mailbox number

oh no!! maybe it was a lawyer or ex-postal employee going postal !!

It is against the law to" willfully deface", damage or destroy a mailbox. Doing so could incur a fine and/or a 3-year prison sentence

Read more : Home Mailbox Laws | eHow

Included in these standards are the fact that mailboxes are not permitted to carry " any type of advertising" whatsoever nor any artwork that could be deemed offensive

Actually it's Floridas friendliest home town. Who knows? Maybe it is. I haven't lived in them all.

Which is why you should always put the sticker on the mailbox right above yours.

We have lived in Polo Ridge for only 5 months and had our various stickers removed every time. Neighboring boxes have also had their stickers removed. The only ones that this guy/gal doesn't remove are US Flags.
It has really bothered me. I have no idea why anyone would be doing this, or even care.
