O'Connor letterbox smashers excel themselves

a family friend of mine used to live near a university where they had similar issues. They tried cementing it, bolting it to the fence… everything. At the end of the day, the most effective solution was to bury a pvc pipe into the ground vertically, and then put the letter box into the pipe (like a sleeve). Every friday afternoon they would pull it out and take it inside

Noice

Was it the same vandal both times?

Get a game trail camera and hide it somewhere near the mailbox, the drunks won’t notice it, and you’ll have lovely HD images of their faces to report to police.

But yeah, horrible box. I think it’s lucky it died with a bit of glory.

Well, if a couple of drunks got it apart I’d reckon there’s a good chance it was a couple of drunks that put it together. Seriously, how shoddy is the workmanship on that thing? I wonder if its the drunk teenagers that live up on Tate St? The same ones that seem to have a fascination with smashing the lights out the front of the townhouses (and the Body Corporates insist on replacing with the same shoddy cheap arse pieces of crap for them to smash the next time they’re bored and drunk (or drunk and dumped)).

Well spotted mate! Easily the worst brick letter box I’ve seen in ages and worthy of a late night deconstruction. I’d offer up that these vandals have actually done the community a service. Well done lads!!

Gee, you have a higher class of vandal on the northside. Here in Chifley and Pearce we just have teens with baseball bats bashing in letter boxes (usually on New Years Eve). We’ve even painted ours black to try and deter them.

And that is what we used to call EDUCATION!
