When I first moved here, I thought it was such a cute thing to do, just like putting our names on golf carts. Can't understand why people make a fuss about something so inconsequential. Have fun, live every day to the fullest, don't sweat the small stuff.. I have cute sparkling tinkerbells on mine and after 6 years, they are still there. My new mail box will get the 2nd generation of sparklings.

I haven't read all the posts but I would suggest a permanent marker like the ones used to mark golf balls.

Only a complete LOWLIFE would deface Tinkerbell!

Since my memory these days seem to have a mind of its own (actually no mind of its own), I have a photo of my mail box archived on my phone.

I just arrived in TV (finally). So far, the only thing I CAN find is my mailbox.

That's funny! Don't worry. If it's the TG postal center, they leave stickers alone there

Default Happens a lot everywhere.

I put an American Flag sticker on my mailbox . It was gone the next day and the front of my box was all scratched up. My box is in front of the building and it seems to bother somebody as the boxes in the back are full of stickers. ?????

LMAO... so funny, obviously the Hadley postal center leaves the stickers on. Went there today to pick up my mail (in the daylight, which is rare) and I literally couldn't find tinkerbell... (my mailbox). Every single box had stickers on them,,, huge stickers, American Flags, Football teams, College symbols,,, I was laughing so hard. I think everyone is now rebelling against the sticker removers, hahahaha... I just loved it.

Kathie has a personality that matches the sparkling tinkerbells on her mailbox.
I think that anytime we can have a little fun and put a smile on someone's face, it's a beautiful day in The Villages.

You would be SOL if everyone decided to put a tinker bell sticker on their box.

LMAO.... that is soooo funny Doug... you have no idea. Its bad enough everybody in this damn place as a red SUV, I can't tell you how many times I have gone to the wrong car and fidgeted with the locks wondering what the hail happened to my car.... people look at me like I'm insane.

Finally, figured a trick. I hit the lock button on the remote so the lights go on&off on my car in a parking lot and then just head to it like I know where I'm going. hahahaha... Nobody ever said I was sane!!!

IF that is the case, and the USPS is not removing the stickers, then apparently the USPS doesn't care.
