living in snowplow country, I have two points. My Grandfather ,who passed away last year, had made his from heavy duty tow chain where the links were welded together. never seen anyone hit it, people around here had enough common sense, I guess. I see a LOT of the swing away types, where the post is far from the road, and the box can be knocked out of the way, only to swing back.

My parent's mailbox is mounted on an L shaped piece of 3 inch rebar that is secured into the ground by concrete. It was like that when they bought the house and always wondered why the mailbox overkill.... See, they live at the junction of a T intersection and one night, a drunk driver failed to turn left or right when he came to the end of the street. 3 inch rebar doesn't bend, so when he hit it, the concrete that the rebar was mounted in uprooted from underground and this guys car was stuck on top of it. It was a little front wheel drive car so when he tried to get unstuck, the front tires (which were no longer in contact with the surface of the earth, but suspended in midair) simply spun ineffectively while the engine revved away. The crash and the whining engine woke us up, along with several of the neighbors and somebody called the cops. My mom felt bad for the guy (because she's too nice for her own good) so she was serving him coffee and donuts when the cops arrested him.

When it's painfully obvious a snow plow driver is intentionally hitting ANYTHING they should lose their job. Snow plows are huge dangerous vehicles and people with anger management issues should not be allowed to drive them. So sayeth someone with anger management issues!

"Our driver went out of his way to plow your mailbox ON YOUR LAND, ended up busting our plow instead, so we'll sue you." Flawless logic...

Our mailbox is attached to our house. Mailman walks up onto our door, puts in the mail. Works great.

We have lost a few mail boxes over the years, but the most popular thing is kids grabbing our rolling trashcan off the side of the road and dragging it down the street dumping trash all over the place. One time I had finally had enough of it and attached a 1/4" aircraft cable to a steel plate in the bottom of the can and 60lbs of cement, and connected the other end to a mobile home anchor in the ground near the fence. Then we laid out the 500ft of cable down the fence line. We estimate the kids go to around 40mph when the cable ran out and jerked the kid clean out of the car window. Nobody on our entire street ever had their trash can dragged down the road again.

Just FYI, in many places in the US, it is illegal to put up an indestructible mailbox like this. You can actually get mailboxes that will collapse when hit and pop back up (not the post, just the box). In the neighborhood where I live now, you can have a box at the road or a letterbox at your door. To avoid replacing mailboxes, we chose the letterbox at the door. Check with your local postal regs and see if you can put a letterbox at your door instead of a mailbox at the road.

In Wisconsin people who have this problem have swinging mailboxes. The post is 10' back from the box, set into the ground at an angle pointing toward the road. A sleeve slides over the post with the arm that holds the mailbox. A slot cut into the sleeve holds a bolt which keeps the sleeve from being pulled off and acts as a detent to keep the box from swinging in the wind.

I recall reading the story of the dude who built his snowman around a tree trunk. Was a while ago, good stuff

Had the same problem, but with teenagers who thought it was cool to spin out on the curve before my mailbox that resulted in the obliteration of my mailbox! Talked to teenagers, their parents, and law enforcement to no avail. One spring break I attached an auger to my tractor and removed my mailbox and replaced it with a new one mounted on a 4 x 4 center cut 8' cypress post. The rest is history! No one was hurt, but engine repairs were costly.
