Family busts mailbox smashers

In my town kids were known to do "trashcan bowling".. Throwing trashcans from moving cars into mailboxes. Yes it was destructive. However, the under lying story was why they were doing it. They were bored. Small towns that have nothing constructive for kids to do see this sort of behavior all the time. Personally, I know a group of now adults who used to door bell ditch the same house over and over again for no reason other than the fact that the reaction from the owner of the house was entertaining. I think cities that see this sort of behavior really need to focus on public parks, movie theaters, bowling alleys, skate parks, and other various outlets for children. Otherwise, kids make up their own games.
