Indeed. Reminds me that we had a single (very small) lavender plant dug out and stolen from our front yard - they would be about $4.99 from Bunnings. I mean really !!! Re: OMG!!!

People have had windows broken by such things. Donuts, how bizarre. I hope you somehow end up with a nice letterbox anyway. Re: OMG!!! Why would they do this??

Highly recommended (and milk is MUCH better than BS Pauls ) On topic: I cannot believe there are people out there who do this sort of s*** Re: OMG!!! Why would they do this?? (Letterbox vandals) 28Aug 28, 2009 7:10 pm UPDATE -- MYSTERY SOLVED!!! turns out, it was the builder of the fence who came and taped up the box and took away the chrome last week. They had sent their painter around to paint the chrome (??? whatever... but hence the tape!) then when the painter decided the chrome was too crappy to paint he just unscrewed it and took it away. Shame no one bothered to tell us till 3 days later, when I got a call from the builder! We had gone out and bought a new letterbox and everything! So builder is buying the letterbox off us and has had the new chrome installed Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ "Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions." — Elizabeth Gilbert Living in our new house.

But, I'm not going to worry about it. I am just glad it wasn't vandals or some horrible neighbours jealous of the best house on the street or something Lisa I assume they taped up the intercom so as not to accidentally get paint on that too (when they thought they were just going to paint the chrome rather than replace it).
