Mailbox Destroyed - For the Second Time in 3 Months!

October 11th, 2011 at 01:39 am

Hey, everyone. It has a been a bit of a crappy day here in my house. It was the beginning of a great deal until I grabbed my purse and lunch and was ready to leave for work. When I looked out the front door, I saw that the mailbox was not on the post where it should be but on the ground. I immediately said an expletive. Not characteristic of me, but I was so frustrated since we just replaced the mailbox post barely 3 months ago. This time they bashed in the mailbox, too. My husband, who was half asleep at the time said heard me and asked what's wrong. I told him and he immediately came running to verify it. He grabbed his cell phone to call the cops. I had to leave for work, so I let him handle the cops. Tonight, we went to Home Depot to buy a better mailbox. When we talked to the folks at Home Depot, they recommended the following mailbox and also a heavy duty steel post:

    My dad was once so enraged about his rural mailbox being hit, he filled it with cement. There was a shattered baseball bat and broken glass next to it three days later.

    that sucks! i live on a rural road and have a p.o. box specifically so that i don't have to deal with mailbox vandalism or snowplow destruction, etc. I live alone so would have to hire someone to replace it each time, so worth it just to pay for the p.o. box.
