Every freakin' year this happens

Sounds like a case for a game cam!

It wouldn't matter. As I said it's not worth our insurance deductable. It would only give me pleasure if they were dragged up to me in handcuffs and forced to apologise. But thats about it. I'm just sick of fixing it

I think I would try the two big bolders on each side.
When I was a kid my dad got tired of replacing the mailbox. He mounted it on a big pipe, and filled the pipe with cement. It worked like a charm until a local sheriff's son wrecked his car hitting the pipe... they made him take it down lol

We ended up just strapping it to a long thick piece of cherry. Probably about 20 inches in diameter. Can't miss it. We didnt bury it so it would just fall over if someone hit it. Id like to come up with a better solution but we're losing daylight and its 20 degrees out

Hopefully it'll last a while without some jerk knocking it over again

Interesting they haven't hit the power pole yet... Go for a biiig rock - something they'll bounce off of and mark it with reflective paint!

Get a 6' length of scrap rail track and concrete it upright into the ground

Then case around it with wood so it looks like it did originally.

I feel your pain. My daughter called me at work Friday and said she had my mailbox in the back of her truck, it was in the driveway. I go through 2 or 3 a year. I am afraid to make it too solid because, hey, that's the side of the vehicle the kid rides on and I prefer a wobbly mailbox to the thought of someone being hurt because it wouldn't give when hit.

Great post. I was wondering how many of you would like to read about my practice program for improving my table tennis game? I have a robot that is more reliable than a practice partner but it doesn't pick up the balls off the floor. I'll try and get some pictures of it to share next time.

But so that you aren't disappointed, here is a picture of some washers I had to replace on my boat trailer electric winch. Pretty challenging.

I'm convinced they take bets on who can knock the most down
