:( Kids around here are really inconsiderate.

[Plop]

First day for them back to school and I come home from work to find my mailbox damaged to where I need to get a new one or be really creative and my neighbors is totaled.

Why can't kids just leave other peoples stuff alone. And a big thanks to the people whom actually taught their kids right. I know there are someout there, just not by me.

Put a tin cover over a solid steel box, so they break their wrists when they hit it with a bat

I am making one on wednesday. Not sure how elaborate I am going to go but a nice big post is going into the ground 4+ feet and I will work from that.

[ShortTemperd]

Loll or just do what my buddy did and make it outta 1/4 steal tubing

[Hammerlane]

and you run the risk of doin like my buddy did.. and go to prison for 10yrs for negligent homicide...

just FYI.. put a pipe in the ground, or steel box and break a wrist yada yada.. is a HUGE liability on your part if someone gets hurt.

its their fault if they hit it not mine

get a plastic one and put it on a hinge with a spring on it. That was my next step if the road commission plow took my moms down again. And yes if you make it with a steel pole or something that will greatly damage a vehicle they will come after you and your home owners insurance. I dont think the pole can be any stronger than a 4x4 post if i remember correctly.

Misdemeanor.. destruction of property under $100 - If there is a piece of mail in it from the federal govt that gets stolen, lost, or destroyed then its a federal offense, something from the state would make it a low felony. Gotta prove it, too.

dont have a link to the law but i do know legally they have to be "brake away" in the event it gets hit by a car

Whats up with these boxes I see encased in concrete blocks or river rocks? Are they just gettin away with it?

Wrong! Its on your property so its your fault.. Neighbor went through this.

Well I would say if a kid hit it and hurt themselves, I would be happy to have them tell mommy or daddy so I could give them an ear full and maybe a little extra hand in learning

[Blazin40s]

Just rig it with c4...and wait with a detonaitor...then when they hit it...press the button.....BOOM!   No more dumb kids.  It won't be yer fault.  Won't be murder in the 1st degree.... I mean hey they hit it right?.

Unfortuniatly we live in a country full of whiny sissy wimps, who can't break a nail without wanting someone else to be liable
