Buick hits Indestructable Mailbox Indiana
4 08 2006
This just happend this morning, about 8am Dec 18, 2003. This is the story I was told, It was snowing, and the gentleman who hit the mailbox lost control, he started sliding, over corrected and slid sideways into my mailbox, Doing quite a bit of damage to his car.
Luckily he was not injured, The only damage to my mailbox was that it got pushed over, his car was not as lucky though. The drivers side door was heavily damaged.
But no one was hurt.
Here’s a little history behind my mailbox, we used to get our box bashed by kids on a weekly basis, so I made this one to be unbashable, Its 1′x1′x2′ and made from 1/4″ thick steel plate, It sits on pole thats 6″ in diameter, made from 1/4″ thick steel, its buried in 4 feet of cement and another 2′ of dirt.

Well when I was in my younger days, these neighbor kids always bashed up my mail box too. Had to install a security system around it. Any time a little rascal came to do harm to it, gave him a little shock, scared him away. They learned to keep their distance from my box. You should do the same.
By the way, are you the fella who ran into the deer? Sounds fun! You best be givin me some of that road-killed venison! mm mm good!
