Vandalized mailbox and circuit breakers

[Hernan B.]

I seem to have kids in my 4 unit building that continue to turn off circuit breakers in the basement (making some of the tenants appliances turn off and spoil food), vandalize the mailbox, and create problems. I have an idea its kids from a certain unit, however, I am not certain, in fact I am not certain its kids at all. Any suggestions? I feel if get a new mailbox it will just get destroyed again. I just got fire extinguishers for the building and they are already empty within two weeks of getting them. Do I want to lock off the area of the basement that contains the circuit breakers or just give the unit whose kids I think it is a 28 day notice (they are month to month). Are cameras worth having or will they just be vandalized as well? Let me know if anyone has suggestions

Have you considered paying some older kids to "have a talk" with these kids? They could let them know that they work for you and there will be no more damage.

Sometimes you need to ask yourself, "How would Tony Soprano handle this problem?"
