Mailbox Prank

Mailbox Prank


October 22nd, 2008

As you may know I recently purchased my first home here in Phoenix and as I continue to get settled in I’ve started to notice all the things I need to purchase. One thing in particular I will need soon is a new mailbox and I’ve been thinking about getting one that’s not the norm.

In a single family home you will usually see a residential mailbox, small and discreet, unless the homeowner wants to be all fancy. But, what I want to get is an apartment mailbox so that I can mess with my my mailman. If I was able to score one of these commercial mailboxes I could always keep my mailman guessing. I would lock all the mailboxes except for one and then switch it a day or two later. I would continue to do this to keep my mailman always guessing.

Not only would this make great YouTube video of the mailman lapsed over time getting pissed, but having a cluster mailbox be act like a security measure also. Since commercial mailboxes are usually very large and made of metal, it would prevent me from becoming a victim of mailbox baseball which seems to be going on around my hood.
