>agree about beefing up the mailbox structure. Also helps prevent mailbox baseball.
A buddy in rural Indiana had a friend whose mailboxed didn't last more than a month or two between
baseball bat attacks (apparently a favorite sport in that part of the world).
So they fabricated one out of boilerplate and heavy steel tubing.
They were lucky enough to be outside one evening and heard the car accelerating and saw the young
miscreant hanging out of the rear window wielding his Louisville slugger.
He took aim, swung and *kaPING*
The recoil (from the undamaged mailbox) sent the bat backwards, and since the young lad had a good
grip on it, it simply took out the rear window of the car.
I would have paid to see that.
