Thanks for all of the conjectures. There's no way the flag could have fallen off the outside of the mailbox and fallen into the inside of the mailbox. The door of the mailbox was closed after it got it the first time, and there are no seams on top if the mailbox if the flag flipped into the air when the bashing occurred.
I just wish I could remember exactly when we bought the mailbox and look back to see who I had given an F to around that time.
BTW our home invasion was done by a former student and her husband. They did over 25 break-ins in town, but caught. She's out of jail, but he's still in jail because he raped a few women during the break-ins. They stole over a quarter of a million dollars worth of stuff. They hit two houses twice because the woman liked the clothes of the owner and the dining room furniture, and they couldn't fit all the stuff they wanted into one load.
