A funny story...

One summer our daughter was home from college and as she was driving our family truck out of the neighborhood, she thought she had run over something. Checking her rear view mirror, she didn't see anything in the road, so she continued on her journey. About five miles away, she was stopped at a red light when she noticed the guy in the car next to her was trying to get her attention. He yelled to her, "YOU HAVE A MAILBOX STUCK IN YOUR DOOR"....Sure enough she had hit our neighbor's mailbox and it was stuck in the hinge of the door....post and all....and the mail was still inside!! Now it's a federal offense to steal someone's mail, so she returned the mailbox to their home and left it on the front porch since no one answered the door. The next day the mailbox was back out on the street. They never did find out who kidnapped their mailbox. Her punishment for denting the side of the truck was that we could tell this story for the rest of her life!! Problem is a tree fell on top of that truck during a hurricane and destroyed all the evidence. Oh well, it's still a fun story to tell...
