Paint it to look like a beer can (favorite red neck brand), fill it with cement and mount your mail box on it.

Love the idea but I am sure it would be stolen in about an hour after I put it up due to the fact that I live close to a scrap yard. The unemployment out here is rediculassly high we have had some firewood stolen recently as well which makes me sick. Just ask and I wouldn't begrudge anyone heat this time of year.

to my understanding, that would be illegal because it would not breakaway if hit
and you would be responsible for damages

Ok. To whom it may concern, my suggestion was made in jest. Steel prices must be pretty high to justify hauling off a 50 gallon drum full of cement for scrap. :ahhh:

Damn...all these posts and no one mentioned Burn Barrel? Drill some holes in that sucker and burn some $hit!!! You've got to have some yard debris that you need to get rid of.

That's what I'd use it for, burning the trash.
But save the drill bit and shoot it instead. 12 guage cut-shells at steel drums are fun

not to mention how many 80lb bags of concrete it'd take to fill it.
My neighbor built a cool mailbox holder out of old well pump handle, mounted to railroad ties. He shares my drive that's private so no letitigation worries ;D

A clay pick would make quick work of the holes. THat's what Red Green would use.
