Brad, I too live in Central Michigan - Northern Montcalm County. I've taken to watching the sales, and buy cheap mail boxes on sale. Usually always have a spare one in stock. They last about as long as the good ones. I've gone through all kinds. Plastic ones don't last any longer than the metal ones. They break, or the kids will come back and rip them off the mountings. I've dreamed about building a vandal proof one too, even have the 6" drill stem. My attorney has told me in terms that leave no doubt that I would be taking a great risk if I use it, and some clown gets hurt, accidentally, or while trying to vandalize. My advice, keep denting the old one back, long's you can and keep a spare in stock.
There's always another stupid kid with a six pack in place of his judgement. My last job was at 1:40 am, by the time I got out the house they were long gone. If you can get your mail person to allow you to put your box back up the driveway a few feet, it will help. Most carriers don't want to have to drive in, back out though. Where you located?
