The United States has the coolest postal service EVER!

So, the BBC reports that, to honor the Star Wars franchise on its 30th Anniversary and to offer some publicity to an announcement of a "surprise stamp" (Ooh! Surprise Stamp!) coming on March 28th, it will be repainting about 400 of its mailboxes to look like the character R2-D2:

 

 Oh Joy! Remember, all you die-hard Star Wars fans out there: stealing mailboxes is a Federal offense! Yes, the mailbox will look cool in your Star Wars room, but are you willing to risk time in Levenworth for it?

I, for one, am planning to track as many of these bad boys as I can, dress up as Princess Leia and put a piece of mail in each one--being sure to say "Help me, Obi-Wan! You're my only hope!" while I'm doing it!
