Repeated vandalism at the Freelandville, IN Post Office in Knox County. Postmaster June Bradfield (sp) says vandalism started about three years ago. Most recently, the flagpole was taken down and letters removed from side of building.
If by chance the vandalism forced the government to shut down the post office, people in the area would be forced to go elsewhere for those services.
