Any of you guys ever play that? I was just reading this story

HATLEY, Wis. (AP) - Call this family the mailbox vigilantes. Fed up that their mailbox was smashed four times in two weeks, Greg Fisher and his son set up a middle-of-the-night stakeout to catch the vandals - and it worked. Four teens were caught after a high speed chase.

"We only did this because we felt very violated and targeted by whoever was doing it," said Greg's wife, Kim Fisher.

Greg Fisher and his 18-year-old son, Dustin, took watch at 2 a.m. Sunday and less than an hour later, a pickup truck drove past their rural home and a man with a baseball bat whacked the mailbox again.

"It was frustrating watching someone smash your property," the father said.

Dustin Fisher, who was waiting in a car in the driveway, followed the truck for more than eight miles, sometimes reaching speeds of nearly 100 mph, before he got a partial license plate number.

But it wasn't enough information to find the vehicle in state records. So Greg Fisher and his wife drove through Hatley hours later and spotted the suspects' vehicle parked at a convenience store, the family said. They parked behind it and called police, who arrested three 16-year-olds and a 19-year-old.

Lt. Randy Albert of the Marathon County Sheriff's Department said he doesn't endorse the Fisher family's actions.

"This one ended peacefully, but taking the law into your own hands can have tragic results as well," he said.

and It made me think about all the fun we use to have smashing a mailbox because the same thing in that story happened to me but ill get to that.

we use to go down this street a few times a month and smash this dumb looking mailbox, and they kept buying the same one over and over. So one day we go back with myself at the bat and WHAM! It felt like my arms where about to break off. Stunned we went back the next night and I jump out of the car and see the guy filled his mail box with cement. Funny thing is he had to eventually buy another one because the mail man could not put any letters in it. We left him alone after that.

But the time we got busted and the last time I ever did this. I think we where all 15 and 16 at the time (3 of us in the car) and for some reason we just thought it would be fun to go out and smash a mailbox, after a long night of drinking and getting high. So basically we where out in the middle of no place on some road with maybe 3 or 4 homes and I lean out the window and make this mailbox just go flying into the lawn. then we are laughing and notice there is a car coming up on us going about 80mph. So we gun it on and a chase if going for about 10 mins down dirt roads and winding country roads, we finally just pull over and figured if they had a gun i would beat the guy with my bat (I was 15 or 16 and thought that was a good idea ). So these 2 god ugly bitches come walking out asking me if I was crazy and I told them "I was not the one chasing a bunch of kids trying to run us off the road". So blah blah blah fuck you fuck you "we wont call the cops if you buy us a new mail box" Sure whatever lady. We get back in the car and drive off a bit shaken but laughing.
Later that day I am called to come over to my buddy's house to find out there is a sheriff there waiting to talk to me. So I go over because obviously we had been ratted out and I did not want my friend to catch all the heat.
That was just a bunch of the typical "you know son you could have killed yourself" and "you really scared those lady's".

Months go by and The day to go to court came. My Buddy's case was before mine so I got to talk to him and find out what happened. He had to write a letter apologizing to the old crazy bitches and pay for the mailbox. So I was thinking my case would be a breeze. So I walk into court stoned (remember about 16 here and one bad ass mother fucker) I have black jeans on and a Pink Floyd Wish you where here T-shirt. My dad was just standing there like "your fucking this up dude" look on his face (thanks to him letting me act like the dumb ass I was, I probably really did learn my lesson). The kids who where on a field trip as student jurors and the Judge just looked at me and shook there heads as I went on trying to tell them why I did this. I think I said something like "Because this is what kids who live in a boring city do". I was handed my Sentence.
The whole Summer I was to be on house arrest, I had to attend a Drug rehab thing (that I got kicked out of), And I think that was it, all that I can remember anyway. So that summer sucked balls and when I did get out it was to go to drug rehab. I was kicked out of there when I came up positive 8 times and kept telling all the other kids its fine. And I would tell the ones who would try to tell there tale of " I would steal anything to get some weed" Id just tell them and the class that "you would steal anyway because your a pile of crap who is going to be in prison soon anyway" and he would cry and I would be sent out of the room. anyway I'm tired of typing and lost it now anyway.

Moral of the story is The only lesson I learned from all of this was that My dad was a smart man who really did care about me and love's me enough to put up with me. He had to go to all the drug meeting with me and let me say what had to be said and when the time came he stepped in and made it all go away after he about got in a fight with the drug teacher lady. I never had to say sorry and I never would have. And the people who broke the most laws and put 3 kids in danger got a new mailbox and a apology from my friend.


so anyone smash mailbox's here?

I dont think its a good idea to destroy other peoples property for entertainment.

[The_Egg]

Can't say I would do it now

Unfortunately Ive become a bitter old man and have no tolerance for childish antics. We need to go back to the days when children would work all day on the family farm. Back then they were too tired to go out and pull stupid shit.

lol Like i said we where bored and had nothing to do. I wish I could have been out in a field working instead of sitting inside that whole summer. oh well that was 12 years ago or so.

i just took 5 shots in under 2 minutes, I have done my share of vandalism - none of which i'm too proud of or plan to do again, but..... doing several dozen donuts on school grass, two springs in a row is one of my greatest accomplishments, I was piss drunk the last time and even had the cops over here the next day questioning me about other incidents, he even asked why my car was covered in grass and mud, can't believe they didn't put two and two together... good times

[FilLaB0NGo7]

also got a 35mph speed limit sign here that still says 88mph, i spray painted that shit when i was like 14, took my moms old car out while everyone was asleep and picked up some friends
