A shitty New Year for some

Feces in 2 mailboxes stain 140 New Year cards FUNABASHI, Chiba -- Human feces have been found in two mailboxes, staining more than 140 New Year cards, police said. A woman found a mailbox stained in Funabashi at about 5:40 a.m. on Thursday and alerted the Funabashi-Higashi Police Station. Officers then discovered that human excrement had been placed in the mailbox and another one some 800 meters away. They are investigating the case. A total of 147 New Year cards inside the two letter boxes had been stained with feces, police said. Funabashi-Higashi Post Office plans to return the cards to the senders after cleaning them and will also give the senders fresh New Year cards and towels as an apology.
