Where I use to live it was old ball bats at night. After I lost the second mail box, the first one that I put up, I set a two inch pipe into the ground 30 inches, and mounted the mail box on a pipe down in it with a small collar so the mail box would spin. The box itself was on a 3/8 steel plate with the support pipe at the back. The I painted the whole works black. My neighbor's box was about thirty feet away up the road. He lost about five siver mailboxes before I moved. As far as I can tell mine was hit twice and only spun. One other nice thing about this set up I never had to stand on the road side to get my mail, just walk up behind it spin it around and get the mail.
