When Enough is Enough

How many times would you consider forgiving someone for running over your mailbox? We decided that 5 times is our max. Now we are turning it over to the law. We moved to this neighborhood (and cul-de-sac) and thought we were going to have better neighbors. Sadly, we have been greatly mistaken. Our neighbors "in the hood" were much better. We never had any vandalism there nor any attacks on our family (yes, I'm including Hannah in that terminology). We have now programmed the sheriff's number in our house phone so we don't have to go find it again. We've had to call on them at least 10 times we can recall since moving here in August of 2007.
I should also throw the disclaimer in there that we do have a really great new family that moved in a few months ago. Our only interactions with them thus far have been over broken mailboxes (their brick one was destroyed a couple weeks ago and they had to file a report). That being said, I do acknowledge hope of good relations with our neighbors!

Well, the Lord said 70 times 7, right? But, I say 2 times is ENOUGH! Good grief! Can you move the location of you box?

No, they'd still hit it. The only way they wouldn't hit it is if we knew how to levitate it. Eric says to strap explosives to it next time it gets hit and that'd be the last time it'd happen. =)

no, they've never even confessed. they were just caught in the act by our good neighbors this time. yes, they do have damage to their truck.
