Sometime overnight last Thursday to Friday, someone attacked a mailbox on Raymond Street. The mailbox post was damaged by a rock, and an M-80 firework was set off inside the mailbox, but apparently fizzled. It still blackened the interior of the box, which is expected to cost about $125 to replace. A woman who lives at the house told police the household was in bed early, by about 8:30 p.m. When she went out to walk her dog, she saw the damage at about 5:30 a.m. A high school student lives in the home, but there are no suspects.

Someone using what looked like fireworks blew up a green metal mail box on Marianne Road. The incident was reported to police on Thursday, Feb. 4 by a neighbor. A police officer who went to the scene saw that the mailbox was flattened out on the ground near its post, which wasn’t damaged and a small piece of what looked like fireworks nearby. The estimated damage was about $150.

While a Mansfield Avenue family was away over the weekend, their home was entered and vandalized, they reported to police. The house is on the market, and real estate agents had access to it to show home-buyers. One real estate agent saw nothing out of place on a visit at about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6, but at about the same time on Sunday, there were several broken toys strewn throughout the house. Two pillows and some chairs had been stabbed with a sharp instrument. It appeared nothing was taken.

Stupid vandalism worth eye-rolling, but not a lot of money: Stealing a stop sign and throwing it into a swimming pool. Harmful vandalism worth $15,000: the damage done to a pool when the stop sign tears the pool liner, allowing water to leak out. Darien police say the incident happened sometime early in the morning of June 30 or in the night before at a residence on Pear Tree Point Road. A resident of the home saw a dark object under water in the pool early in the morning and found it was a stop sign. Police say the sign appears to have been originally located at the intersection of Pear Tree Point Road and Long Neck Point Road, which was missing a stop sign.
