Mailbox down for the 4th time in 5 years, this time third year in a row [View all]

Strange how it's always timed with the neighbor's harvest operations.

As always there is no note to say what happened or an offer to pay for the damage, just tracks over the former location of the mailbox and post.

I'm way beyond 'accidents' happen. The same accidents don't happen again and again. And I'm unable to see the comedy of it.

This time I called the sheriff about hit and run property damage, that I 'suspect' was part of the neighbor's harvesting and trucking activity last night...piles of spilled beans and huge tracks from high floatation tires.

The deputy can sort it out, make citations, etc. so I can go to court with a claim.

All the shit about how good and honest country folks are is a myth. They're pretty much just like everyone else...with many of them looking to make a clean get-away.
