Breaking: Bored Teenagers Are Destructive

082007gilthorpmailbox.png

If you haven’t spent much time in the suburbs (or, alternatively, haven’t seen Stand By Me), you might not be familiar with the teenage art of mailbox destruction. In the suburbs, there’s not much else to do besides hang in basements and drink in the woods, so people come up with ridiculous games to play. One of them is going down a street and destroying mailboxes, with cherry bombs, baseball bats, rabid wolverines, whatever.

The Bucks County Courier Times has a big article about teen vandalism today, noting that it picks up in the summer because kids don’t have to go to school. It also notes that most kids don’t know why they destroy mailboxes and blah blah blah.

There’s also this sentence: “While there is only one way to throw an egg, there apparently are several ways to destroy a mailbox, according to police reports detailing the destruction.” Oh, come on — hasn’t this guy ever heard of an egg catapult?
