Une explosion?!

Last night about 10PM a man was knocking on our door. It was a neighbor and was spreading the word that there had been "une explosion" in the mail boxes. Doug went downstairs to check it out, and he found that our neighbor had been exaggerating a little bit. But there were several mailboxes (including ours) with the door ripped off and then stuffed back into the box.

Why? Je ne sais pas. I guess the same reason that American teens get a kick out of knocking over mailboxes with baseball bats. Fortunately, our "once a week roomate" was there last night, so she called her mom (our landlady), and she is going to call the building maintenance today. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!!
