Hi. Welcome back to Pine Meadows Hobby Farm. I'm your host Jerry Hanson.
living rurally, we have problems with mail
theft.
And for this cause
my wife and I decided to purchase something a little bit more secure
so we purchased this mailbox.
It is
It is very thick steel. The post is thick steel
And this mailbox is locked with a barrel-bolt key
which makes it nearly impossible to pick.
So it takes a thief a little bit more effort to steal it.
The mailbox, weighing about two hundred pounds
makes it even that much more difficult to even
rip off the mailbox.
The mailbox is bolted to a steel post from which we purchased with the mailbox from the factory
And we cemented it into the ground to make it even a little bit more difficult.
Now, last winter
two winters ago, when right after I mounted the mailboxe
and installed it, my neighbor down at the end of the road, who coincidently has a mailbox
identical to this one,
He slid on the ice out here on the road and ran over my mailbox wrecking the
front and it is this truck.
As you can see the only damage to my mailbox was this scratch.
That's it. I came out that afternoon to get my mail, my mailbox was laying down on
the ground
with a note in it from the guy who ran over it.
apologizing and
offering to
help pay for any damages.
It was only like three dollars and some cents for a bag of cement to reseal it
to reset it into the ground. So it was no major issue. His truck was really damaged
So, living rurally and coping with mail theft
and identity theft
And being-- coming close to tax refund season
there's a lot of people out there going mailbox to mailbox ripping off mail,
Ripping off I.D's
You know, things like that.
So, I recommend one of these mailboxes
This factory is located in Merlin, Oregon
it happens to be within a 50-mile radius
of where I live. So my wife and I when we
found it online, we drove to the factory and bought it direct from the
factory and hauled it back ourselves .Which saved us a fortune
in freight. Because these mailboxes are not cheap. But I do highly recommend one.
or a mailbox like this one if you're living in rurally to protect your mail
I'll post the contact if your interested in purchasing a mailbox like
like this. I'll post it right down here
so follow this is a web link below or call the 1-800 number
I'll be posting right here to
make arrangements for the purchases one of these mailboxes.
