As I was coming home just now I notice that there are probably 5-6 mailboxes that have either been bashed in or broken off and one car window that has been broken just on my street alone. I can guarantee it's kids because there are many school age kids that walk that street, many just passing through. I pity them if they try to mess with my car. On the upside out mailbox is about 1/8 inch thick steel, I dare them to try.

CSI had an episode that featured "mailbox baseball"..........

The owner of one mailbox had two mailboxes that were removable, one for daytime use which was a regular mailbox, and another that was put out at night that was filled w/ concrete!!

I've been up pretty late the past couple nights and I thought I heard some weird noises outside the house. I grabbed the .45 and looked around but I didn't see anything. A couple nights ago my alarm beeped the warning chirps, but I may have hit the remote in my pocket but I didn't think I did. If this continues it may be time to get some cameras.

When I was a stupid 16yo kid, we took my parents car and attached a boat anchor to the receiver hitch. We were having a good old time yanking peoples mailboxes out of the ground until my friend - sitting on the tailgate - threw the boat anchor around a mailpost made out of a steel I beam. I think the 1975 Ford LTD Country Squire got the front end 4 feet in the air - as it came to a halt. The next day, with my father making us go to each door and apologizing I re-set in concrete about 10 - 15 mailboxes. I never did anything like that again. I bet today you wouldn't see that kind of parenting - where they made the kids responsible for their actions. Did I forget to mention the times I had to fill the tank on the LTD as punishment? 1 year.

I have the standard $20k+ car in the driveway and junk in the garage. I keep an eye out constantly and have been checking out every noise lol. I am thinking about getting one of those driveway beepers that beeps if the beam is broken.
