Hmm, that's in the Valley, which means it's likely illegals stealing them for scrap metal...
My first thought as well.
Umm... I thought of a more sinister use. I pray I am wrong.
I will never ever be convinced that privatized mail is the answer. I prefer a government military, government education, government police, government post office, and never having my taxes going to support any private enterprise or multi-millionaire CEOs. Some things need control by taxpayers and other by CEOs.
Private enterprise means it should be purely private funding, but the current problem in the USA is that private enterprise has somehow become entrenched with cronies wanting to make money.
We need to as a society to define what needs run by government and what needs run by totally private funding. I will fight to my dying breath if my taxes are sent to private enterprise.
Two hundred pounds of convenient scrap aluminum?
That would be a community mailbox cluster including the pedestal, Alex.
Thankfully, I rarely use the postal service and wish I didn’t have to do anything with it at all. The mail carriers seem to all be illiterate. I had to track down a parcel that had supposedly already been delivered four days before. I keep getting letters addressed to someone else on a different street, even people from other states!
Nope, not enough return for scrap and too hard to move, as scrap dealers don’t do Fed mailboxs.
After the first one vanished, somebody ought to have been watching the others in the area like a hawk.
These puppies ought to be cast into the concrete, not just bolted.
