Hit and run
 

Someone hit my mail box this morning and hauled butt!! I know this is a long shot but if anyone on here has any idea who did this all I want is to be reimbursed for a new mail box. I understand accidents happen, no big deal. It happened on Rosedown ln. in Lafayette this morning (Feb 19th) around 8am. My neighbor saw the truck and said It was a tan/pewter extended cab Tacoma or Tundra. Please contact me by PM on here or email me at bjhooper@lusfiber.net Thanks for any info.

Same thing happend to mine sometime last year. Took out like four in a row. Still ticked off about that.

Lol, I was thinking a metal box on a little post. That thing took a lick!!!!

No joke!
I bet his truck took a bigger one!

Yeah it did. Their truck has to be messed up pretty bad. Im just glad my pregnant wife wasn't backing out of our drive way at the time and the person hit her. Then I'd be very pissed.

Contact some local body shops and put them on alert.

Damn.... He must have been coming in hot when he stuck it. I hit one back in highschool and it just laid down still intact!

haha or junkyards, may have been totaled haha

Dang!!!! That vehicle will need Southern151!!!!

Yeah, they'll be headed to a shop! Hit one back in 05 like that...$10.5k in damage to my truck!

I did go let em know though.

I hit a few after some long nights at the bar but never a huge brick on like that.

Haha! Yeah, there was only one on the whole dang road and, you know I would find it! Bad case of late night stupid!

Can't never have nice things. People mess them up for you. My semi new truck has more dents due to stupid people and no one ever fessed up. Can't have nice things anymore.

Too bad IronMan isnt here when you need him!

You need a mason!!!!, I thought you had a Lowes Special mailbox


ETA: At least he didn't break your sprinkler heads......

No tire mark, and the stones around the landscaping are still intact....... somethings fishy

I was thinking the same thing ... seems more like someone hooked up to it and pulled it .. just by the way it all looks

I don't know if there's a standard to the way you're supposed to build them but they normally don't break like that when being hit by a vehicle. I'm no expert and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Depends on how fast you're going! LOL! The one I hit had no two bricks left together!

Someone defanantly hit it, 3 neighbors and my wife herd the impact and one of me neighbors saw the truck driving off and said it was sputtering pretty bad. One neighbor tried to chase him down and get his license plate number but by the time she got her keys and took off he was gone.

The guy that hit my mail box came back to my house today and cleaned up all the bricks in my yard and left a note on my door with all his info.

Yea, he was hammered!

took 'em that long to sober up ?? wow, there are SOME nice people in the world thats MAN enough to own up to their mistakes.

lol Mom and dad must of jumped that azz

I'm just glad it didn't happen about and hour earlier. 4 neighborhood kids wait for the bus in my driveway every morning. That would have been very bad.

Glad to see someone own up....

Me too. Glad to see there are still good honest people in this world.

That's just incredible, glad things worked out... Hydro

Thanks, me too.

Mom and Dad probably made him come clean it up.

If the guy is going to pay to replace it.....he better start saving some $$$, those birck mail boxes are expensive.

Thats great, glad he owned up to it.

This is what I would left for the note.

If you wuldnt put ur mailbx so close to the road eye wuld have knot half hit it. Anyway cents I wurk four NASA and make $$$$ on natural gas stock Im gone to pay for a knew malebox to be bilt.

When you replace it, make sure the bricklayer throws all the extra bricks and martyer inside to give it a bit more ummph!

I think there's some US Mail regulations you have to follow when you build one so that they break away when they are hit.

Looks like his last one was built to code then!

solid cement it 2' in ground with rebar then brick the outside.

Had problem with kids hitting mailboxes with bats on my street.
Neighbor lined his with cement. Went back out the next day, bat laying my mailbox. Hasnt happened again

Ever since that Montauk guy moved in the neighborhood, its been all downhill......
