Jerk Vandalizes Mailboxes, Dad Builds Invincible Mailbox


So, we have a proper jerk who was running around and yanking people's mailboxes out of the ground. What compels a human being to do something like that? Pure madness. Fortunately, dad was around and ready to enact a pro revenge with an invincible mailbox. Way to go, dad!

Text - Sheriff gets called over DIES LAUGHING when he sees it. He went to the house of the guy that was suspected and sure enough verified the damage to his truck matched!

Dad was unofficially rewarded by the Sheriff's Dept with a few cases of beer and some venison. And after that every deputy in town would flash him a thumbs up whenever they saw him.
