Not my mailbox. This is not an exciting tale of getting something cool in the mail, but of finding something lodged in a public mailbox. Wait, you say, what do you mean, lodged? And what would be lodged in a mailbox? A public mailbox that’s supposed to be available for everyone to use?

As far as I could tell, there was some kind of purse or bag jammed into the opening of the mailbox. You know, the part where you pull the handle and it tips open and then you slide your letters down the hatch. Well, my letter didn’t go anywhere (I pulled it back out) because of the bag crammed in there, along with what looked like a ledger of some kind. What?

Who stuffs a bag and possibly an important-looking ledger into a public mailbox and abandons it? Was it hobos? I think we can rule them out. Hobos don’t have nice bags and ledgers, and if they do, they probably have better places to keep them than jammed into the mailbox opening. And I don’t think anyone could have gotten their stuff crammed in there on accident, either. The mailbox is right outside the courthouse, though. Maybe it was EVIDENCE. Maybe some panicked person charged with destroying the evidence was in a bind and chucked it into the mailbox.

Or… not. But still. It’s a mystery. (Note that I only speculate on mysteries–I don’t actually solve them.)
