Last night, a number of mailboxes in the Greens Farms and Cross Highway neighborhoods were vandalized or stolen.
Police believe it was the work of teenagers.
Normally, this would not be an “06880” story. But there’s more.
This weekend marks the 3rd anniversary of a Westport woman’s husband’s death.
When they moved into their home, she wanted a red mailbox. He bought it for her, as a gift. Now it’s gone.
The post that held the missing mailbox.
This Sunday is also Mother’s Day. The woman calls this “the hardest weekend of the year for me.”
She adds:
“I love Westport. I feel proud of calling this community home. I have great respect for the families that live here.”
However, she is appalled by what happened. She feels that her family — and others — have had their privacy violated. She calls what happened “irresponsible and damaging.”
This is a long shot. But if you’re reading this, and you stole that red mailbox — or know where it is — do the right thing.
Bring it back.
