Oh, these wonderful West County parents. Restitution! That takes care of everything. Some drunken teens tore down over a dozen mailboxes here in Manchester.....but the wonderful parents replaced them during the night. That took care of everything. Keep up the good work you West County parents....maybe your darling children won't go to prison until they're in their thirties, or so.
