In this day and age im pretty sure the mailbox bandits would just lawyer up and sue the homeowner. In most states they probably would win with the right judge even though they were destorying property.

I managed a property where we always had kids jumping a fence to use hot tubs afer hours. They wanted to put up barbed wire or some equivalent deterent. We were told by counsel even with signage the HOA could be held libel for injuries to trespassers.

exactly where our "judicial" system goes wrong. we enable the wrongdoers. same thing with reinforcing mailboxes that kids routinely destroyed. if they hit a reinforced mailbox with a baseball bat once, bet they'd never do it again and bet their friends would think twice

My mailbox has been taken out twice in the last 7 years by vehicles that left the roadway. Neither were acts of vandalism, a reinforced box would n have made the situation worse.

This is more accurate then most would think. Per the USPS Regulations book and what a Civil Attorney would use
to bring a tort action.

Installing the Mailbox Post​

The best mailbox supports are stable but bend or fall away if a car hits them. The Federal Highway Administration recommends:

• A 4″ x 4″ wooden support or a 2″-diameter standard steel or aluminum pipe.
• Avoid unyielding and potentially dangerous supports, like heavy metal pipes, concrete posts, and farm equipment (e.g., milk cans filled with concrete).
• Bury your post no more than 24″ deep

Oh yeah. I remember a dual point distributor that I put in Dad’s ‘63 split window Corvette. Got a matchbook cover? Close enough to get you in the ballpark.

That belt drive is pretty clever. But even if the belt doesn't help the ice spikes probably do. At least if you can keep the inner ones from puncturing the sidewalls.

Think the "spikes" are an attempt to keep the belt on when you turn. Though, ice spikes is probably a lot cooler.

Yeah John that should have been obvious once you said it.

The thing about this is that you can CLEARLY SEE how deep it is and there is ZERO EGRESS on the far bank.
