Legal advice on MailboxesFollow

Well, now you have photographic proof that it wasn't.

Says the person from Canada.

Oh snap!

1. I'm kind of confused because here in Aussieland, whether in town or country, all parts of your mailbox stay on your private property, even if the slot of the mailbox lines up right at the front edge of your property. The mail deliverer comes to your mailbox, and at least on my street has a dinky little motorcycle he's allowed to ride at a snail's pace on the side walk from house to house.

2. If the garbage can worked so well I agree you should start using it again. Hopefully you can rescue most of the lovingly hand constructed mail box to stick in it. Make the garbage can a good looking one, or beautify its outside, and it could be a permanent solution.

3. No form of mailbox is going to prevent drunks crashing your front yard.

4. Why aren't the mailboxes IN your private properties around there again?

If your mail is delivered via a vehicle the mailbox has to be sufficiently close to the road for the mail carrier to be able to reach it without driving on your lawn. That means it sits on the shoulder of the road. We had to be 25 feet back from the center line I believe.

Here's a picture of teh mailbox pre-crash. Pretty eh? :)

THAT'S IT! Surround the next one with drowned, frozen bodies. That should keep people from driving into it, or at least give you a little entertainment when the next drunkard thinks they ran all of them over.

And a challenge to take out in one swing.

Hey, my mailbox has never been destroyed despite the milk bag delivery.

I don't know anything about mailbox legalities, but that is a purty mailbox, Elinda. Your husband should be proud!

Someone's in for some disappointment.

Wait, she'll still be attached? Damn, I hate skinning; I wanted the tits ready to be sown onto my suit with minimal effort.

You're forgetting it's Alberta - the milk's frozen solid.

Depends on where you live. In town around here, people don't have mail boxes on the road, they have bins or door slots and the delivery person walks up to the house to deliver mail. In the less populated places, where houses are quite a distance from the road and far in between, we have mail boxes so a person driving a vehicle can just pull off the side of the road and deposit your mail. It would be really inefficient if the delivery person had to drive down every persons driveway to put mail in a bin/slot on their door.

It's not that odd to have a mailbox far away from the house. It's at the end of the driveway, so when coming home from work you just stop, grab the mail, then drive up to your house.
