My custom mailbox was almost blown up two years ago by a "bomb like device" that was placed in it. Fortunately it only blew off the door.
A number of years ago a lady I worked with had a son who was a senior in high school that was hangin around with a bad kid. One evening they placed "a bomb like device" in a mailbox and it blew up real good.........they got busted tho.
The son got probation and community service and learned a very, very valuable lesson..........FWIW, the son's father was a cop in that community...LOL!
I was thinking kids but they just said on Foxnews that they are now saying there have been 30 of them, some dropped in mail drop boxes and some in private mailboxes. They do not seem to have any idea of a motive.
Very sad that, for whatever reason, there are people out there who would hurt random innocent people.
Never did that as a kid. Did plenty of other stupid stuff though. Kids don’t realize but your mail-box is considered property of the US Postal System and sticking ‘’bomb like devices(and cherry bombs) in someones mail box can be considered a felony.
