Incident occurred during the day and she is requesting additional patrol during days. It was suggested to the complainant that she notify the post office since she is not aware whether or not paychecks were in the mail that was burned. Complainant will follow up at her job to see whether or not checks were sent to her home. She doesn’t believe the mischief is due to her pending divorce as the incidents occur while she is away with her children at her husband’s home. Other incidents of mischief have occurred; however, none have been reported.
