Odd happenings in our street. A few days ago, I complimented my next door neighbour on their new post box. In fact it was their old post box repainted. "What happened to the new one that you installed a month ago?" There was a hesitation, then they replied that it had been temporary, until they could repaint the old one.
This morning, as we approached our own mailbox, I cried out "Someone has stolen the roof off our mailbox!!" Sure enough, one side of it was decapitated. Fortunately it is still useable, if somewhat mutilated.
But I am now wondering about the mailbox next door. Perhaps it was also decapitated. Perhaps there is a Mailbox strangler in the vicinity? Perhaps next door's mailbox was actually murdered and they are too upset to talk about it.
I'm stationing the cat at the top of the driveway. He can report on any strange "goings on" and report back.
Meanwhile, if you see anyone wandering around with a small rectangular plank of blue wood, approach with caution. It could be our killer.
