This guy I used to work with, he had a similar problem. A bunch of kids in a beat up old truck used to run down his mailbox all the time but they always did it when he was gone or in the middle of the night so he couldn't catch them in the act. He kept fixing it and they kept wrecking it and calling the cops didn't help because the cops wanted positive evidence which he didn't have, only a hunch as to who it was. So finally he solved the problem in an imaginative yet effective way. He took a railroad rail, set it in 8 feet of concrete, then built an enclosure of wooden planks around it so it looked like a piece of old wood, then set the box on top of it, thus itt looked like an ordinary ramshackle rural mailbox, but Surprise!! Soon after, in the middle of the night, he heard a crash and some cursing, and went outside to find a thoroughly wrecked junker of a truck, and no kids to be seen, as they fled. Needless to say, the cops had the evidence they wanted and the problem never re-occured.
