A guy I work with had a problem with his neighbors from across the street (who were renting) repeatedly backing into his mailbox as they backed their SUV out of their driveway (my personal philosophy is that if you can't drive it, you shouldn't have it, but that's for another discussion). After something like 4 or 5 mailboxes being knocked down (and one drunken, retaliatory mailbox destrucktion, my coworker bought an "indestructable" mailbox or something like that and attached it with some sort of welded steel that included lengths of rebar or large bolts sticking out of the front of the mailbox. He said shortly after, he was in his front yard and noticed the neighbor's SUV had several holes punched right through the rear sheetmetal in the same pattern as his mailbox mount, but the mailbox was fine.

I think he's said that he didn't have any more issues with them backing into his mailbox after that.
