Stupid PUNKS!

oh, the mailbox game! our first replacement mailbox was the super cheap kind that came with a little concrete boot at the bottom. I suppose I was supposed to bury it. I just propped it up so it wouldn't fall over too easy. The mailbox bashers must've about dislocated their shoulders or something as easy as that one breezed over. After about 20 years I had to replace it and did with that plastic kind, slips over your own post. Set that sucker deep. A few months later, DS found a metal baseball bat in the ditch beside the mailbox, at the end of a dozen bashed boxes... I keep it by the door for protection. I hope the idiots hurt themselves. There are some fine examples around town of the swing-away and spring mounted kind.

My BIL solved the mailbox basher problem. He used a very large heavy pipe sunk in concrete for the base and made a cute little mailbox that looks like a house with a peak roof and everything out of 1/8'' plate steel. Been 20 years. Hasn't had to replace it yet. Before that they were hitting it every two weeks or so.

I live in the country and country Punks love to do this as a right of passage. They used to get mine all the time. Then I got tired of it and built one made from super heavy gauge welded steel and drill stem piping. hehehehe then one day I heard the their truck loud and obnoxious coming down the road so I looked out the window only to them swing at the mailbox with a baseball bat, it hit the box then bounced off the heavy steel and swung back into their windshield and broke that. LOL AHHHHHH sweet revenge LOL.

After getting my mailbox destroyed a few times I bought this one.

I set it on top of a PVC pipe filed with concrete with 2 huge lag bolts.

Some one tried to to hit it and only left a very small dent,

I had a friend use the same technique for the post but used a huge large package mail box and then set a small mailbox inside and added concrete in between the small mailbox and the large mailbox. then set it ontop of the PVC concrete post. Some punk was in for a surprise when they hit that big mailbox. All he found was a shattered 2x4 the next morning. Kid probably broke his arm.

We've had our mailbox stolen, twice. We know who did it. There's a long story behind it, but we know that it was a disgruntled landscaper. Can we prove it? No, of course not. I didn't observe him do it, and unless I wanted to hardwire a camera all the way down to the end of the driveway, I wasn't going to capture him on film doing it. Suffice it to say that I knew who done it. Fortunately, the second time, I had a trooper who was sympathetic to our plight as well as sympathetic to the badge. He tracked the landscaper down and gave him a talking to. And, the current mailbox has a little message on the bottom of it, written especially for him (as well as lots of nails sticking pointy end out of the bottom of it). We haven't lost any mailboxes in a while.

Okay I am a mail carrier and there is no problem with getting an extra large mailbox, placing a smaller one inside it and filling the remaining space with concrete. i suggest it to my customers who have vandelism problems. And your packages you wanted to have your carrier pickup. Go to usps. com and fill out a carrier pickup form the day before and leave the packages by your front door. YOur carrier will come to the door to pick them up for no cost. I hope that the lovely kids who are taking such good care of your property learn a hard lesson when it comes to destroying property.

Thats stupid that its considered assault with the concrete mailbox ,when the punks shouldn't be vandalizing property in the first place. Sometimes I don't understand the justice system.

LMAO, i was thinking how funny that would be in court! I am sure it happens but dang........

OP, cameras to convict them! o

They stopped a short distance down the road and were out of the car looking at it and I stepped out onto my porch and just kinda gave'em the stank eye. They were all mad yelling at each other and pounding their fist on the hood. I about pee'd myself it was so funny.
