We got a message and a video from reader Prithika, who tells us that a motorist backed into her family’s mailbox earlier this week and got away, and they’re still trying to find out who did it.
She tells us this happened on Monday around 3:15 p.m. in the Powers Pointe neighborhood (off Johnson Ferry and Powers Drive) and she’s asked neighbors to help identify the vehicle, but to no avail.
She made a video of the incident from her home’s surveillance camera (click here), from which we got the screenshot above, and also sent us the mailbox photo after the fact.
“We are trying to find the person—here’s a video I made about it spreading awareness and asking folks if they’re aware of who.”
Prithika says the mailbox was destroyed and nobody was hurt. “As for the culprit, they did not step out the car.”
