Concrete manatee mailbox doesn’t have many fans

One concrete manatee in Pennsylvania just can't seem to get a break.

To Monroe, Penn., and the case of a missing manatee.

Not a real manatee… but a $1,000 concrete manatee mailbox that went missing earlier this week.

It was found in a creek, missing its left arm and with a head injury.  The owner wasn’t surprised.

According to the Patriot News, in the seven years she’s owned the manatee mailbox, it’s been smashed with a golf club; dressed up; and set on fire.

She says she’ll probably just keep it in the backyard from now on.
