My uncle used to have problems with people running over his mailbox and then taking off. The police told him they couldn't do anything unless he could prove who did it and the post office would not let him move it further back off the road.
He got one of those old milk cans that stand about hip high and put his mailbox in that and cemented it in. It didn't take long for people to learn to steer clear of that mailbox
