My father in law came to fix the mailbox before I was married or even knew my wife. He brought down some 12 inch heavy walled steel drill pipe. It was a long piece. We have clay soil. He used a PTO driven boring tool, and drilled a deep hole, and filled it with concrete. Topped my a mailbox. It looked nice and was decorative.
Several years after we had sold that house my former neighbor called me laughing. The punk kid had a little brother. He decided to do what big brother did. There was a very loud BANG, and he was stopped cold. He hopped out, and ran home, called the police and reported his Jeep stolen in the morning. The cops towed away the Jeep. It scuffed the paint on the mailbox.
