Oh yea that reminds me of the time I kelp getting motor oil stole. I'd buy a case ahead of time, might take a week or two to get time to change oil. Would get ready to change and be 2 or 3 quarts short. So I started putting my old oil back in the bottle and the bottle back in the case. Didn't take long before my "friends" car motor locked up.Not a mailbox, but suits the title.
Buddy of mine owns a good sized independent garage. Car came in, crank, no start.
I dropped by the shop, late day, to hear my buddy on the phone, explaining the repair to the owner.
Gas tank was full of a huge amount of water. No comment from the car owner, but my buddy knows many of his customers really well, and is a good judge of people. The owner of the car works construction.
Best guess - "work" gas cans for small engines were getting emptied way too fast, for the amount of small engine operating hours. So..... trusted employees were let know which "gas" can had been mostly filled with water.
Boss sits back and watches who has no-start car trouble.
Told this one to a buddy of mine in BC, who keeps having gas stolen from cans on his property - he's going to have some fun. I suggested that he mix salt in with the water.
Best rural box setup I've seen was a big "Skyhook" type (high inverted "L", with the post set way back from the road). Standard box was suspended from long free hanging chains - it just swung freely if hit.

What ever happened to your "friend?"
Later,
Dan
Back in the 60's a guy I knew would let his nieces and nephews and their friends come into his house to hang out. He had a few rules of course, one being no drinking his beer. He started to have a problem with his beer disappearing from the fridge so he started to "recycle" his beer also...carefully replacing the cap after he carefully replaced the contents. Sure didn't take long before the pilfering stopped!.............But I really "pi$$ed" the beer thieves off took me a while.
