?A specially designed Minion letterbox in a small farming community in the Wimmera has been stolen in what can only be described as a despicable act.

It was stolen from outside a farm Nurrabiel?, between Hamilton and Balmoral on the intersection of the Wonwondah-Toolondo and Jullumba-Mockinya Roads.

Rod Cowie, who made the welded mailbox, told Ross and John it was highly unlikely it was stolen by a local.?

Minions are yellow and blue characters from the kids movie, Despicable Me.

‘It’s quite a distance from the house,’ he said.

‘You can’t get too upset about these things.’

‘They chopped him off at the ankles!’. Nurrabiel resident Rod Cowie would really like his Minion letterbox back. pic.twitter.com/RzADsBPqpd
