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

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

It's an annoyance. Doesn't mean you should go totally postal

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?

And disguise it with some cheap-looking plastic so that they think it's not going to do any damage to their vehicle when they hit it.

Reminds me of a girl I used to know.

I had to read this again too. I was trying to figure out how the hell his mailbox is 100 yards off the road, but I’m guessing he means his house is that far.

Sounds like maybe your mailman doesn’t like you vey much.
