Guy down the street from me concreted the pole(inside) and 2"around the mail box itself, than made it look like a wood pole and wooden mail box because people kept hitting it with baseball bats. 1 week later some 17 year old punk hit it with a metal bat as his friend drove the car. The mail box seriously fuc!ed that kid up! Right arm broke in 3 different places, left wrist destroyed, facial bones totally broken, lost permanent sight in his right eye and partial sight in his left eye. Some brain damage as well. I thought it was funny as all hell getting what you deserve. The owner only said stupid kid when I talked with him. That said he did get sued in court over the injuries but the judge basically threw the book at the kid and his parents about the stupidity of his actions. The owner was order to replace the mail box though. I think the owner got his point across, he moved a 1.5 years afterward because a job relocation to Florida I think it was.
