This is the model I have -- $70 + shipping. I got the green version cause I think it attracts money [:D] -- it's mounted to the wall, though you can put it on a wood or metal post as well. Also has a lock and is large enough for about a weeks worth or more of mail if you are out of town. My wife worries about mail theft, so we got the locking version.

Thanks for the info Panorama .I figure I'll try the cheaper one I just bought for now in hopes that the little shits find something better to do on a summers night.

They will grow up and be replaced by a new group of littie monsters.

Like Stella - I am amazed at what people will steal. I've had very good luck so far, except for a very, very old, rotten broom. WTF would anyone do with that?

I left a 12 pack of soda in my car a few months ago & foolishly forgot to lock the car. The next morning 2 cans were gone. Again...WTF?

Oh, sorry about that Wolver. I just needed something to quench my thirst as I spied on you.

[/quote]I've had soda cans explode in a car here in the Phoenix summer heat. The only things I've had stolen off ofmy front porch was a yard trimmer and a leaf blower -- both cost about $30 each and I had them for over 8 years, so it wasn't that big of a deal, $60 + tax to replace... I consider myself lucky.

I remember reading about a local guy years ago that would crap, wrap it in a box like a gift and leave it on the backseat of his car with the car unlocked and let assholes steal it.

I like that--that's crazy funny.

People stealing stuff from your yard or car are sad. But I guess it's gonna happen. I've only had a potted plant stolen once from our front yard. We've been lucky. You know my Baby--my '74 Plymouth Duster--well, I really want a paint job for it. But it's probably a good thing I can't afford it, b/c everybody tells me not to get a paint job b/c then somebody might steal my car! *sniff*

Years ago, our home (not where we live currently, but a home we were renting) got broken into, and some things were stolen. Now THAT sucks. Have you guys have your homes broken into and/or burglarized? Sucks huh.

Just a update on the mailbox thing. When I came back from walking my dog last night my neighbor from across the street was out front of his house waiting for the cops . He told me that his canoe was busted up on the near by pond . He also found out that it was the same little shits that busted up all those mailboxes. He knows who they are and now the cops know. [:D]

Ahhhh...the circle of life. Beautiful thing, ain't it?

They busted up his canoe? Thats big stuff. I hope they get in trouble.
Want to talk stolen? They say if it cant be nailed down, dont put it in front of your house. I had put those solar lights in the ground around my front walkway which is on my property next to the front door. I was in the driveway and someone walked up to the front door....and screwed off the topps of 2 of them! I was right there! Well I moved them to the back. People suck.
