I got up a good head of steam and plowed into it. WHAM! I flipped over the handlebars and bent the forks. The little bastards had built it around a fire hydrant!!!!! I got lucky since the hydrand didn't break off at the ground but I was pissed!

The fith week, the guy filled the trashcan with cinderblocks with leaves on the top.
Somebody needed a new quarter panel.

A few weeks later he went out and found the mailbox cracked, but a metal bat was laying on the ground by the driveway... I'll bet that kid broke his wrist  |
My best friends mom was losing a mailbox about once a month. I was working at the ironworks and got a 8" steel I beam 6' long. Sunk that 3' into the ground with a substantial concrete footer.
As we were putting it in, the local police stopped and asked what we were doing. I explained her problem and my solution. He suggested reflective stickers to reduce legal problems.
Funny how all of a sudden nobody wanted to run over the mailbox anymore.
The mailpost did take out two cars though. One was drunk who crashed into it, smashing his radiator ( on;y the slightest of a dent in the I beam )
The other was a stolen car. The thief ran over the mailbox, tearing open the oil pan. The found the car about a mile down the road with a seized engine.
