When I was a kid, I totally wanted my parents to buy a house with a barn, and then build an indoor pool in the barn.

“12:04 p.m. A man thought bills were being stolen from his mailbox after seeing a suspicious Facebook post.”
What was that Facebook post, and why was it more compelling evidence than the missing bills themselves?

Now that would be cool but also kind of a waste of a barn.

I found someone’s mail on the side of the road about 2 months ago, someone had gone through it, decided that the Harley neck gator was not for them and tossed it with a dozen cans of white claw.

Now how and why? My schizophrenic neighbor used to always accuse us of tempering with her mail/credit cards etc but I never once have heard of it happening to someone I know.
