Yeah, they were. They were physically trying to separate the mailbox from the post... but they got frustrated because they couldn't pull the post out of the ground or remove the box, so they pulled out their trusty chainsaw. They cut the part of the post attached to the mailbox, then they used a snow shovel to try to dig out the rest of the post because they didn't have a normal shovel

My dad tried to help, but their Chinese sounded like evil gibberish, so we left them alone.
