Not quite wordless...Out in the country where we live, occasionally young people will "ride the roads" and smash mail boxes with baseball bats. This ingenious person seems to have found a unique way to prevent this from happening!

I think they at least are getting the message across! Neat capture!
My WW is up. Happy Wednesday!
Ohhhh...so clever! I love this shot, I guess you can say that the owner went "postal" on those mischievious youngsters! LOL
Mine's up too.
Your caption is so appropriate!!!
Happy WW!!
Do stop by and have a chuckle at my WW :-)
LOL - that is just too cute. I don't understand that people like to destroy property...
Happy Wednesday, Beckie :)
Brilliant. Wonder what one could do with all the recycled bats?
that's creative!
And I thought country life was so quiet and peaceful...lovely colors, nice pic!
Yes, I remember mail box bashing...NOPE I never did it but it was done to our mail box a lot!! This guy probably has the right idea. you and your pictures. You are so GOOD with that camera. Mine is up today too..Sandy
That is a great photo. Love that the mailbox "Eats" the baseball bat. Well it looks like rows of spikey teeth to me.
Great photojournalism
Great photo! And a good idea for rural postal customers.
Couldn't resist it! Off to Indy hopefully home by Tuesday. Can you stoke the fire once a day, it looks like we are in for cold weather. Thanks neighbor!
Brilliant idea.
My WW is up.
Funny photo. I am glad you took the time to explain it because I was sitting there staring at it trying to figure out what decorating theme we were going for here.
LOL! Awesome!
Lol, at least this person has a lot of phantasy ! I would call this a hedgecock mailbox ! Should do ours the same way, I think our mailman would be delighted !
They sure did find a way! ;o)

I don't know why people get such thrills out of smashing mailboxes, but kudos to this person for making a defense!!
Absolutely brilliant! What a great idea!
Mine is up as well! Have a wonderful day!
Very smart of them! Thanks for stopping by!
That is a great idea.
Happy WW!
how creative that picture is
Beautiful shot.
Artistic and practical.
A real slice of Americana.
He/she should get a patent on that system.
Take care,

I love mailboxes with not only character, but an attitude as well!
Really cool shot!
Happy WW!
Ha! He's got spikes going through his. How ingenious.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hmmm... in MY neighborhood of the country, the kids would take that as an "open invitation" -- they would take THAT bat and proceed to bash the box - from the sides! Good TRY though!!!
In my old neighborhood, people bricked their mailboxes to prevent the bats from breaking them. Lots of shredded bats from kids trying!

I love clever mail boxes! It almost looks like a person with spikey hair!
What a clever thing to do!! Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Wednesday!
Pretty clever! We live out in the country too, and people our here some folks built big sone enclosures around their maikboxes.
I went funny today - have a pic of a turkey and a cat standoff! lol
How funny!
Wow there is a lot of work put into that mail box!
What a great idea! Nice photo!
clever!
Why would people do that to mailboxes? I guess his is protected!
This is a great photo...good catch!! No pun intended!!
That is so awesome. Around ehre they like to knock over mailboxes instead of smashing them.
