I'm on my 12th mailbox in 28 years. Vandals, snow plows, vindictive mail carriers, and the TWO, count them, TWO times a tree fell and the county just bulldozed it onto my front lawn taking out my mailbox both times. Now I take my mail box in every night and put it out every morning. Pain in the a$$, but this box has lasted me for 7 years!

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.
