Dear Editor:
To the person who stole from the 2nd Line mailbox near Ariss on July 29 between 6 and 9pm.
I just wanted to assure you of the distress, upset and unnecessary waste of time you caused by your decision to steal a dog’s blood sample from my mailbox as it waited for lab courier pickup.
After you took it and realized it was of no value to you, you threw it from your car two miles down the road, where it spent the night in less than ideal conditions and was thus compromised. I thank you for at least leaving it visible at the edge of the ditch after my two-hour search the next morning.
I don’t know if you are an overzealous Geo Cacher, but I have a newsflash for you. Mailboxes are off limits! Mailbox theft is a crime.
Perhaps you have been infected by COVID-19. If so, it has clearly gone to the small amount of grey matter that you were originally given or perhaps you are just a self-centered, immature shmuck and always have been.
I don’t expect you will ever read this, if in fact reading is even one of your skillsets, but know there is a thing called karma and it is real.
Dr. Karen Bentley,
Ariss
