Florida, the land of sunshine, palm trees, and… lawn mower mayhem?
In what can only be described as the most Florida thing to happen this week (so far), a man in San Carlos Park decided his John Deere wasn’t just for cutting grass—it was also for cutting down mailboxes like a rogue, zero-turn vigilante.
The Incident:
Neighbors on Robin Road were treated to a front-row seat of this bizarre spectacle when a man, presumably on a mission (or possibly just very lost), plowed his lawn mower straight into not one, but multiple mailboxes. Home surveillance footage captured the moment of impact, proving once again that Florida Man is a force of nature—one that doesn’t yield for private property.
Neighbor Reactions:
– Matt Clardy, whose mailbox was among the casualties, summed it up perfectly: “It was egregious, absolutely disgusting… but it’s so funny. I can watch it 100 times.” (Same, Matt. Same.)
– Austin Bir was less amused, shouting into the void: “(Expletive) you. I hope you at least paid for these mailboxes to be fixed.” (Spoiler: He did not.)
– Justin Crawford took it up a notch, demanding justice: “He should be arrested and thrown in jail for driving while intoxicated on a lawn mower.” (Because of course this was a DUI situation.)
The Aftermath:
The suspect left behind two critical pieces of evidence: a Pittsburgh Steelers hat and a pair of sunglasses. Because nothing says “I regret my life choices” like abandoning your accessories mid-crime.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is now on the case, trying to track down this rogue landscaper before he strikes again. Will they find him? Will the mailboxes ever recover? Stay tuned for the next episode of Florida Man: Lawn Mower Edition.
Only in Florida, folks. Only in Florida.
