Fortress mailboxes
 
Has anyone built a "tupperware" mailbox. I am thinking a polyethylene with
a sunlight protecting dye would be permanent and durable.
I know it is not metal but in some cases...

I have been reading about fortress mailboxes (a topic raised here). A
couple of conclusions:

Yeah. The problem is that it looks more like
a "Fisher-Price" mailbox. Not everyone wants
something like that in front of their house.

I think its the same one used on Windows XP default setting. The one
with the Fisher-Price theme.

Yeah, that one was great. There's a large fishing lure up on A Street
here in Grass Pants, OR. which cracks me up every time I drive by it.
It takes a really avid fisherman to make a mailbox like that. It
appears to be made of fiberglass and is painted exactly like a good
lure. 'Tis very well done, but the treble hooks have balls on the
ends, no good for catching mailbox baseballers or errant kids at all.
