Suburban Legends

In the suburbs, there is a constant battle between those with sidewalk mailboxes and baseball bat wielding vandals.

Here is a master mailbox defense strategist that I noticed in my old neighborhood. The mailbox is beside and slightly behind, a telephone pole. It is impossible to hit the mailbox from a car. The telephone pole prevents contact from a swinging baseball bat.

However, there is no protection from someone getting out of a car and walking around to the other side.
