The town was *not* happy. The poor guy had to pay to repair the
grader, and take out the mailbox.

Why would the mailbox owner have to pay to repair the grader?

Good question.

Somebody help me out here, and remind me who did in the road
grader. Maybe then we could ask him how they strong-armed
him into paying for its repair.

But it happened.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

As long as the mailbox owner had the mailbox within the confines of his
private property (and not protruding out into the public road), then I fail
to see how it's his responsibility for damaging the road grader.
