The classic teenager smashing mailboxes: it’s not as harmless as it seems on TV.

Someone shared how they personally dealt with their mailbox being destroyed multiple times by filling it with concrete.

Let’s read and learn!

Someone was playing mailbox baseball, so we filled it with concrete

This happened when I was a kid at my childhood home.

Our mailbox at the end of our rural driveway has been destroyed multiple times, so my father and I decided to get even.

They were being bothered for a long time.

We went out and bought a much larger mailbox, bent some metal sheeting and added a small rebar frame, and placed it all inside the larger mailbox.

Basically a small mailbox with a larger one, with a gap around it that we filled with concrete and rebar pieces.

We also replaced the post with a steel and concrete post in a 3-foot hole, and bolted it all together.

Oh, my Lord.

Then we waited…

It took a couple of days, but then we saw a little scratch on the mailbox… And we knew justice had been served.

We didn’t have the tech at the time to put a camera up, but I would have loved to have seen it happen in real-time.

They outpranked the vandals! Let’s just hope nobody was hurt.

Let’s see what Reddittors are saying about this.

Dangerous game.

This is very unfortunate.

I didn’t know beating mailboxes could be so dangerous, but it was always not nice.

Unfortunately, some people only learn the hard way.
