"A grown person would not do such a thing," she said.
Now, Jeanette said she will be out about $100 to replace the curbside mailbox.
"I'm very upset, because to them it's just a prank, and they think it's nothing," she said. "But it's damage, and when you add it all up it's a crime."
Next door, her neighbors had decorative lights broken off. Police have launched an investigation, and residents have been staying alert.
"Whoever's doing it beware," Jeanette said, "because I will be watching."
Police said in total, nearly three dozen mailboxes were vandalized.
