    I solved this problem on my rural road, 5 gallon bucket of concrete, holding the mailbox. Wont kill you, but it will fuck your car up all to hell.

      That works, car hits it and pushes concrete bucket. Their car is fucked, your mailbox just need to be put back in place, postmaster is happy. Win win win situation.

        Yeah lol, on one of my old phones I have pictures of my mailbox, broken pieces of bucket, and several chunks of honda scattered 30 yards down the street. No more bucket, but the concrete was just fine. I had to straighten the pole a little, but it still stands.
