This irritates the crap out of me!

There won't be explaining, they stole money AND hand made custom grips for a gun they don't even own. If the cops don't do anything about the kids, I will press charges on the parents because I have told them I would do it an they haven't fixed the problem. So now it's all up to the law. I hope that this fixes the problem.

Yeah, don't go to jail, send them to jail.

Send yourself a nice thick envelope of folded paper, with your camera running to catch whoever gets into your mailbox. Sometimes it's not getting taken out of the mailbox, but intercepted by the mail carrier.

Good job on the restraint, for several reasons, especially with anything "GUN!" involved. The media being what it is, you'd be crucified, regardless of how justified your actions might be. That's some total bull on their part for doing that and yes, it very much is a Federal offense. If the locals won't take it or kick it to the Postal Inspector, do so yourself. Most of those guys (Postal Inspectors) are squared-away individuals who don't really have a lot to occupy their time, so they tend to jump at the chance to get some "field" time, lol! Not saying that they don't work hard, as all of the one's I've dealt with are great people, just that they don't get a lot of opportunity to work cases and make things happen. Hope things work out for you and nice choice on the 1911. Have a few of those myself and while I don't carry them, they are fun to shoot and nostalgic to have in the safe; classics and all.

Thanks for the comment on the 1911. As for the kids they are going to have their day. And if it was a mail carrier...oh man that guys life is over. Commuting a federal offense as a government employee is bad news. Goodbye freedom hello federal pen.

Yea this is a good idea! That way they could see it without having to open the mailbox or get close.

I was just thinking of this: too bad you couldnt buy one of those ink bomb things they put in money bags at banks. You could rig it into a box and whoever steals it and opens the box would be in for a BIG surprise lol!!!

First off op I'm sorry to hear this. It's ridiculous that you even have to deal with this.

Now to take off with Mike's idea. While you can't get those bank ink packs, you can take one of the paintball grenades and add some permanent ink to it then rig it to go off when the package is opened. It'd be kinda tricky but I'm sure it could be pulled off.

There was mail being stolen in a certain area around here....guess who?


THE MAIL MAN!!!

Stole over $25,000 in merchandise.

He was busted. Well, in Canada, that might be a year, or house arrest....

Lmao noooo! Then he'll get charged with assault or something haha. Just catch them in the act or on video and call the fuzz. Your tax money pays their salary so make them earn it lol!

[darthkevin]

Just got off the phone with the cops. They aren't doing anything about it unless I catch them in the act so I'm gonna try some stuff. In the meantime I am getting a po box so it's gonna be great watching these fools get busted.

Maybe I'll just catch a skunk and put it in there. That would be hilarious to watch.
