Seminole, Florida -- The president of a neighborhood
home owner's association got a startling response to a letter sent out to
residents.
Earlier in the week, Gerard Esposito sent out a
letter to all homeowners in the Windtree Oaks neighborhood that many
mailboxes were non-compliant with deed restrictions. The letter said
"appropriate action" would be taken against residents who did
not install a brick mailbox as required.
Apparently at least one
resident took exception to the strongly-worded letter and,
on Friday afternoon, Esposito's brick mailbox was blown up.

"It was just a loud bomb...
bang," said a perplexed Esposito, who had no idea what
the motive might have been.
Neighborhood
residents say the HOA has always been lenient on
enforcement, leaving many to wonder why someone would go to
this extreme to make a point.
No one was injured in the explosion,
and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office is investigating
the case. Right now, deputies do not have a suspect.
Anyone with information is urged to
call the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office at 727-582-6200,
or to remain anonymous and collect.
