Dang mail box killers!

Yup... they be coming from one direction all da' time.



LMAO!

Then a solution could be something along the lines of a James Bond type gadget. A pressure switch located somewhere on the mount that would sense a good sized whack (a shock sensor from a car alarm would work). This pressure switch could trigger a paint ball gun. Nothing expensive, just something to launch a distinct color.

Now, once this triggers and hits the vandal, all you have to do is cruise around town until you find the batters, and present them with a bill.

Or you could go the less messy approach, and wire it to a cheap camera.

I like my Idea all you have to do is call the hospital and see who came in with a broken arm. no driving, no wasting your gas or your time.

That works too. But unfortunately, hospitals are unlikely to tell you such information. The last thing they want is another injury caused on their property (even though it means more business for them).

Sorry if this sounds stupid but why do you have mail boxes in america. In england we have letter boxes it is just a little slot with a flap to provent rain getting in attached to the door where any letters/small packages are slide though they are much cheaper £5 ($10) and alot harder to vandalise.

Because we typically have things called driveways, and in some counties, the driveways are longer than one car length. This comes from the fact that some postal workers are lazy, and prefer to set in their car (which has the driver side on the "Euro side" so they can drive down the correct side of the road and still just reach out and deposit the mail).

There are still some homes that have such mail slots (cities like New York and San Francisco, where the architecture is somewhat similar to the UK, are a great example).

In fact, I'm sure some of the homes out in the British countryside are the same way.

Continental Europe drives on the right hand side of the road.

Letter boxes like that don't work for everywhere. They're fine if you live in town, or in a large city (or, heaven forbid, you live in a housing development.). Some of us live miles from civilization. And, like one poster mentioned, some houses sit back a fair bit off the road. The house across the street from me, isn't visible from ground level, due to distance, topography, and vegetation.

I meant Euro, as in the UK (where they drive on the left hand side of the road)... My brain was a little off at the moment when I typed that part of the post, but you get my idea. The driver of a postal jeep (that's what I refer to them as) sits in the right-handed seat.

Again, my mistake, but you get the idea. Different areas have different postal receptacles.

Oh right that makes sense. Thanks.
