The Oakridge Commons postmaster in South Salem told investigators someone placed a stool on top of a mail truck, broke the driver’s side mirror and cracked the windshield. Police said it appeared someone got on the vehicle, a 1984 Grumman mail truck, and broke the mirror, then cracked the windshield while climbing it.

Police said they had patrolled the area the night before and hadn't noticed anything suspicious.

The truck was drivable and went out on its regular route the following day. The postmaster was advised that police would step up patrols in the area.

The following items were also reported by the Lewisboro police:
