In our neck of the woods they've taken to busting up mailboxes. (Thank goodness not with pipe bombs yet, but we wonder....) One recent Friday night, about 130am actually, we heard a door slam, then wham, wham, wham, wham, screech. Next day another poor pitiful mailbox was ready for the grave.

They aren't in our corn yet, however, and we put up a $5.99 replacement mailbox so life goes on.
