Buy a box of dots and start putting them on mailboxes and see how long it is before you get arrested for defacing property.
Your mailbox is YOUR MAILBOX. Rip them off and complain to the newspaper.
From the U.S. Postal Inspector’s website:
“Mailboxes are considered federal property, and federal law (Title 18, United States Code, Section 1705), makes it a crime to vandalize them (or to injure, deface or destroy any mail deposited in them). Violators can be fined up to $250,000, or imprisoned for up to three years, for each act of vandalism.”
