Whats up guys. A couple weeks ago someone broke my mail box off post and all and stole it. We put a new one up and today some one put a pound of crap in it a smeared all over the sides. I have no idea who keeps doing this. I dont know if its retaliation for riding quads in my yard or what but I am really ticked. If someone is mad about me and my friends riding in my yard they could just tell me. We all run stock pipes when Im in my yard so they should not have a reason to get mad. I'm gonna start watching things like a hawk. Any suggestions to what I should do to these guys if and when I catch them? Im thinking potato cannon passenger side window.

Yeah sit a camera up in your yard somewere like hondaexrider said so you can always be on some type of survalance. If you find out who it is Ide just get a baseball bat and give him one nice shot to the chest. Or if you know were he lives just mess up his stuff...

no!call the cops they will get in trouble vadalizing or stealing a mail box is a federal crime i think the most sensible thing to do is set up a video camera in your window point to the mail box and leave it on record, revier the tape each day and ull get them eventually, get a really nice mail box put it out there and wait for them to strike turn the video into the police and press charges on the criminals

retaliating is stupid dont vandalise there stuff or beat em up, it will only get you in trouble and make you look immature, make them reimburst you for the vandalism, and i beleive they will get in trouble for tampering with mail...stuff

I've already called the cops. They didnt even come out they just made a report of it. I am going to try the camera idea. I wish I could think of a way to coax them back out so I can catch them.

yea what he said, set up a video cam somewhare that points to ur mailbox and record it all. unless the cops see somebody do it, theres nothin theyl do about it. video evidence will stand up in court. or get a deer cam, one that you would use for huntin and hang it high and on an angle so it takes the pic but they wont be able to smash it too easily. if anybody as much as opens ur mailbox it is a federal offence. and if u get caught you go to federal prision, not the county clink

same exact thing happened with my uncle, they kept beating his mailbox with baseball bats and pulling it out and taking it and throwing it on the road so he built one of his own, 1/4 inch piece of pipe that was 1 foot round diameter for the bottom(into the ground) and for the top piece, all they could do is spray paint bugs bunny on it, they stopped for good then, couldn't touch it.:p :devil:

soak it up with wd-40 and a lot of it will slide off, and put some tacks on the ground so they step on them when they walk up to it.

I say, catch them on tape, give it to the cops let them deal with it! I think its like 25000 dollars for tampering with a mailbox and some nice time behind bars!

run an extension cord out there. strip some wire on it. hook it up to the mailbox, with the power wire on one side and the ground wire across from it. now plug it in at night. dont forget to unplug it for the mail carrier though.

Get yourself a game cam and set it up high enough that they can't reach it and eventually you should get a pic of someone other than the mailman or yourself.......

if something happened to the people he would be responsible....same as if your property is posted you dig a hole and cover it with leaves they fall and break your leg they can sue...same type of deal, im pretty sure the fine for destroying a mail box is biggg

A friend of ours had his beat with a ball bad 3 times -they would drive by at 20mph and hit it with a bat- until he took it off and filled with concrete for the following Sat. nite-yea they hit it that nite, but must have done serious damage on the other end -never happened again!!

It happened again. I woke up last night to my dogs barking. I didnt ignore them this time I woke up and shot my spot light down to the end of the drive way. It was really foggy so i didnt see anything. This morning my mailbox was leaning over almost pulled out of the ground. I guess I'm gonna have to start camping out up there.

Barbwire your mailbox:D or...

tell the cops because messing with mailboxes is a very serious crime and they will send out undercover postal spy type people to watch you stuff every now n then. (i guess there like cops undercover) ??

Happend to my neighbor and thats what they said they'd do for him. Just be real nice about it. ;)

Then they will tie your tent to the back of there truck n drag u places.

or if you can camp somewere your sure they wont see you.. Maybe if theres a close by tree build a tree stand and watch:confused:

OR buy one of those nice big brick mailbox's with the mailbox built inside.
