I’ve lived here since 2002 and in that time frame my mailbox has been hit 8-10 times. Not once has the perp come to notify us. I probably have $2k or more in mailboxes & repairs.
Any ideas how I can catch the next one? A camera? I don’t know a lot about the recording capabilities of the type of camera I’d need. I have ring, a Nikon & a cell phone camera. That’s about my extent of camera knowledge.
Over 100 yards off the road and there are a lot of trees between my house and the road.

Setup a big post right next to the mailbox to prevent future hits

Those aren't accidents. Somebody in your house has a crazy ex

Big steel pole in concrete with a mailbox on top. It'll at least mess up their vehicle

Get a PO box.

Threaded rod through the mailbox, anchored into a concrete block, studs for the base in the block as well. You probably won't catch them but it will frick their shite up. I even used a section of 4x4 pvc tube filled with concrete.

It’s probably your pissed off mailman.

I would think a professional hit man would have better contacts for this type of question than the OT Lounge.

Iron pole painted black, many, many pounds of concrete and a box on top.

Not in my subdivision, but on the main road it's off of, a few houses down, at a curve, there was a house whose mailbox would get demolished at least annually. My own brother was one of the culprits, but did the right thing and paid for the repair, but the mailbox was just in a bad spot for drunk assholes veering off the road at night at that curve.
Is your mailbox just in a bad spot for drunks, or do you think someone is fricking your shite up on purpose?

Get a solid metal pole, sink it in a big ole pile of concrete, and wrap it in some 1/4” wood. If a car hits it, the car will probably still be there when you go check it out. If you think it’s more personal, get a game camera and put it on one of the trees, it’ll take a picture of any movement.

M-80's, bats, and vehicles were instruments of mayhem on the country roads.
I won't even be mad. I expect it to happen at some point.
The question is, are you owed any mailbox visits?

Excuse the crude image, It's taken off of Google Maps street view.

I see this mailbox every Sunday morning on my way to church and your thread reminded me of it.
That red arrow is pointing to the mailbox. It is a 12" diameter concrete pillar wrapped in bright yellow padding with four recessed cameras and multiple reflectors.
Also take note of the three reflector crosses leading to the mailbox.
I'd do something like this...

8-10 times and your mailbox is over a football field away from the road? Just bad luck, it probably won’t happen again.
