stuff snipped

People who are bat-**** crazy about protecting their mailboxes
from being batted away by passing carloads of vandals should
locate those mailboxes far enough away from the side of the
road so that they can not be reached with a baseball bat out
of a vehicle's window -- problem solved...

If a vandal with a bat can't reach it, I'm guessing the mailman
would have a hard time getting to it as well.

Ah, but you see, the letter carrier can get out of the truck,
walk a few feet to the box and deliver the mail -- teenagers
in a car driving at high speeds can't do that and in fact
might crash the car if they drove off the surface of the road
to try and "reach" the relocated mailbox...
