Put up a grumpy face and see it it stays.

Or do we just have waayy too much time on our hands?

Most likely a little of both.

I started this thread some months ago, and we are still having an ongoing problem with someone removing the mailbox stickers. It is really disheartening that anyone thinks they have the right to do this.
The mailman knows it is a problem from other residents and is clear he is not the one removing them.
Now, this person has taken paint remover to the front of our mailbox and it looks awful.
Any thoughts? I've called the district as well.

I put a 2nd smiley face sticker on in the past day and it was removed again.
Makes me feel badly that someone is doing this and we have no idea why.
Any thoughts?

Wow! Someone in your neighborhood is really OCD.

How about a sticker that says...
CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH
I would post a photo but don't know how.

I memorized my box number, not a problem finding.

There are so many fabulous things to do and see in The Villages.
I feel sorry for the person who is so bored that he has become fixated with your mailbox.

Thanks, I agree!

Too bad it's so darn hot out. I think a stakeout is in order. Or a surveillance camera?

[seacoastbargain]

I've thought about it! !!

Is this one of the disgruntled TV villagers that you were talking about?

Why does one feel they need to have a sticker on their mailbox?

I don't know, maybe the same reason people put their names on golf carts.

For the same reason people put stickers or college/sports license plates on their golf carts, cars, flags on their houses, etc. To celebrate something.
