And for a second it felt like it was 1979.

They barely damaged the mailbox, but the post we had it on is snapped at the bottom (it was wood). It's almost like someone hit it with their car, rather than a baseball bat.... But there is a dent in the side of the box, which was definitely left by a blunt, bat-like object.

It's probably just karma. While I've never baseball bat'd any mailboxes... I have done many other things involving a car and friends that resulted in inconveniencing people. Things I'm sure a lot of people here have done, such as knocking over every (still-full) trash can on a block, and tipping over every porta-potty in town that we could find. (Pro Tip for people with frigid winters: Do it in the winter. The ground is usually too frozen for them to steak down the porta-potties, to prevent people from tipping them over)

Funny story about the porta-potties... We hit this one construction site like, 5 nights in a row, and from then on they had a cop stationed at that construction site every night, for the next 2 months.

Ah, misguided youth, how I miss you.
