When we were kids someone tried that at my house. I heard the urine hit the concrete when my father "cocked" his 12 gauge (we were getting ready to go raccoon hunting @ 0230). Next summer there was one guy dragging a woman down the road by her hair so dad blasted him with rocksalt then whooped him severly stating "real men never hit women little man". There have been alot of odd incidents at my house since we live out a ways. Anyhow my dad and the neighbor Burny are the law out there.

I am all for metal mail boxes, but, around here they actually have a law against putting anything immoveable within 3 feet of the road. Supposedly for the safety of passing motorists.

 

i remeber when i was 5 this guy who never had his mailbox bashed, bought one of those bounce back jobbers.
it had a pole like a normal one, well it was composite or metal. and it went down to a spring. so when it was hit it would just bend over. well one day while this guy was gone, we where pushing on it and i pushed it really hard and it came off the spring, iguess it just slid on, and hit the pavement, made the loudest sound ever.

when i live in tulsa, our mailbox got termite or the base did any ways. someone came by and bashed it and the wood broke off, the box wasnt even hurt. it was pretty beat up before that tho. used to play baseball in front of it in the culdisac(sp?) and it woudl get hit frequetly and the flag would fly up.. good tiem good times. dont have a mialbox got a po box tho

i dont think anybody would want to screw with my house. if it werent for the highline and light on the pole nobody woudl know there was a house down here. it takes alot to walk back here, and drive in some spots. im sure its to much trouble. they can always walk up the creek, but over my stereo i can here people talking from my room that are down below me in the creek, house is on a cliff above the creek.
sounds pycho but i like toying with people, ill don some camo and walk in the bushes on the cliff and drop big rocks in the water off to the side, shoot a bb gun in the water, wierd stuff. usually im dealing with meth heads so i always have my .22 or shotty, whichever has more shells. like my .22 as its got a huge scope and it weighs like a pound brushed alu. with sythetic stock and its a break down. the shotty is good for just scaring people, just the sound is scary, the barrel is the size of a 50 cent piece around. 28" flat blakc with a sythetic stock

 

Just a couple years ago we were robbed, the guy got a windowopen got in and took the computor monitor about
2500$ of cd's and cameras wifes purse and a few other
odds n ends, and whats weird about it is we were upstairs
sleeping and we think we may have spooked him from getting
more if it wer'nt my wife getting up to change diapers on the
little one. So i say if anyone ever says they'll hear a robber
in there house there there wrong cuz i thought the same thing. my story of freaky.

 

Our mailbox is immovable except by maybe a semi. I can't wait to see if it works or not....

 

Thats funny! I'd be mad too!

People like that make me sick. Worthless pieces of junk that lie to get money from people. I wonder if she knows what a p.o.s. she is!? people like that need to get a job.

The worst thing I've encountered is haveing my house & trees toilet papered one night when it rained. I found out who did it, toilet papered their house, and scooped up a dead racoon off the road with a shovel and put it on his car. ! He hasnt touched my house since and I havent touched his.

 

One must remember that a handful of these homeless people want to work, but are past the point of no return and that it's a downward spiral.

Some make it out, but most don't.

I don't know what the homeless situation is in your part of the country, but over here it's real bad.

I've been around long enough to know when I'm being scammed by a homeless person.

I just avoid them. Better for me and better for them.

I had one friend have his tip of his finger bitten off by a POS homeless punk.

He kept on bugging him for spare change.

 

...which is a lot of the reason SF had to pass a law against aggressive panhandling. Some of those folks make good money at it though. I recall Ronn Owens, I think it was, talking about this guy he saw almost every day in Union Square, raking it in hand over fist. Probably lived in a nice house on *** Hill.

I hate to say it, but SF probably has more nutjobs Per Capita than nearly any place in the country! (Present company excepted, of course...or would that be accepted?! )

 

They had one guy being interviewed here that made about $400 a week; not a month, but per week.

They had a hidden camera at one location where when this guy was finishing panhandling, he got into his car; I think it was a Lexus.

What a P.O.S.

And TigerDan, you're right about this being the #1 nutjobs per capita in the country.

If you guys from the midwest or south never been here before, you have no idea what me and/or TigerDan are talking about.

It's a zoo at times.

Every once in a while some homeless turd has been known to throw acid in peoples faces; or gang members torch a homeless person sleeping.

Did you know that the bussiest fire station in the country in here in S.F.?

It's in the Terderloin district, I think. Call after call dealing with drunks and homeless people.

 

They have that law here too, till someone went to court and challenged them on it. He wanted all telephone poles moved back three feet, county street lights ditto, same with street signs mounted on metal poles. Guard rails on the edge of the pavement, move them back and put in a shoulder. They decided to let him keep his brick mailbox.

 

haha, i'll bet the city was mad that they got screwed on thier on law when they were tryin to screw someone else.
