Collecting mail just a walk in the park

Letterboxes of Hampton Park residents were removed by vandals and erected in a nearby park. Letterboxes of Hampton Park residents were removed by vandals and erected in a nearby park.

COLLECTING the mail was a walk in the park for Hampton Park residents last week after vandals plonked their letterboxes in a local playground.
Residents were forced to walk a little further than the end of their driveway to check the mail on Friday when four boxes were stolen and erected in the park on the corner of Fordholm Road and Hallam Road.
It is believed the letterboxes were taken from properties in Kooyong Close sometime during the night.
Hampton Park resident Tom O’Neill said he and his wife were quite amused when they looked out the window on Friday morning and saw the boxes standing in a row amongst the swings and slide.
“We were laughing, it looked so funny.
“I suppose it was just some young vandals up to a bit of devilment,” he said.
