Got me a crystal clear plate pic with mailbox in frame, 5min later got them on the way out and mailbox gone.
Report filed with SO and planning to press charges.
If the postal inspector will do anything I will pursue that too
Not the first little thing that has vanished, most of which I would have gladly given to anyone that asked

Think my deputy has been on vacation a few days
Going to text him tomorrow to see what the status is
One way or another the perp will pay. Maybe Class C theft, hopefully tack on some trespassing, or possibly the postal inspector will get involved
I have a good plate number and good enough pictures to show mailbox there, then 5min later gone
I promise I will follow up, just nothing new yet

Got call from deputy this morning
The short version:
He stopped by the residence the car is registered at a few times (3 I think) and could not make contact. Given the value of the mailbox makes it a Class 3 misdemeanor he is suspending the investigation.
Said without identity of driver there was nothing really he could do
Said he believes it could be kid
Also said he was sending pic to patrol officers and that if they crossed paths with vehicle it might lead to identity of driver and reopening case.
So I am going to hit the postal inspector up and see what they can do. Probably nothing too but then I will pursue other methods of identifying driver.
Have an idea but don't do social media so may have to employ some of my coworkers to do some research on the book of faces
Guess if you steal something little and avoid contact by LE for a time they just drop it. I know they have bigger things going on and that just a pic of a vehicle carries no proof of who was driving.
Gate going up soon and the more I think about it the more I lean toward building on my deeded property line and closing off about 1/4mi of oil top.

BT, my personal experience with postal inspectors...
I had a similar situation a couple of years ago.. Sheriff WOULD not do anything, even after the kid admitted to him he did it.
I called Postal Inspector, approximately 8 times, 3 months later they called me back.
Said they won’t do anything, acause it wasn’t worth their time to investigate. They had more important matters to worry about.
Good luck to ya.
