Now I wish I had this mailbox on Sunday night. BEFORE my nephew's new girlfriend's ex-boyfriend kissed my plastic mailbox with a bat in sub-10 degree weather. Can use say "plastic splinters"? (He egged the ex's house too!
)So, where can you get the plans for this? And, can it be loaded?

File a complaint with the FBI. Once a mailbox is up, it becomes a federal offense to mess with it.Originally posted by StillCrazy

It is a federal offense to mess with the mail inside the mailbox. When somebody whacks it with a bat, call the sheriff's office, tell them the state police told you to call, they will love that.

Don't waste your time calling the sheriff's office unless you actually have witnesses. The nice officer who came out last year after mine was destroyed basically said there's nothing they can do without witnesses, even though about a dozen mailboxes had been vandalized along with mine.

The officer told me "because you can go to most any hardware store to get a new mailbox, it's not a federal offence".
I was bad....I had a fast car, a stolen grocery cart, and...well..................

So Pete, you're just looking for post cards then, no letters or bills?
As for me, the missing mailbox is just a nuisance - 20 bucks to buy, 20 minutes to install. But a pain in the azz to replace since I already had one that did the job. They're not worth wasting the time of the police, and near-impossible to prove the identity of that "evil-doer".
Mailbox batting is just a fact of life, but I'd still like to pour a quart of Rustoleum Black on the
's car-roof (I'm not vengeful). I'm sure if I created a poll (lightbulb goes on ) on the stuff we all did in our younger years, the "home-runned" mailbox would get it's share of votes.

They used to even engrave a notice on the mailboxes saying it's a federal offense to mess with them. I don't think they do it any more, though...

Buyone of those big metal boxes, insert a smaller box, fill the empty space with concrete. Looks like a normal box from outside. Let them whack that with a bat...

Now THAT's an idea.
You should see the mailbox we have. It is the super heavy duty one from H.D. This thing is made out of heavy guage steel. On the box, they had a picture of a car parked with it's wheel up on the mailbox. If nothing else, it'll give the punk a nice shock to the arm when he tries for the grand slam.
