Great to know that this seems to be a universal pastime. I blew upquite a number of mailboxes in my youth. Most of them were mounted on walls and would more or less just fall off and be bent out of shape. In one instance however, we took matters too far by blasting a block of three mailboxes out of a wall. Those were cheap enameled mailboxes in a painted wall. We were watched and ratted on and took a great deal of hell for it. The owners were rather easygoing about the damage though. As it turned out they ripped off their insurance and got themselves nice brass mailboxes in a white marble plate so they weren't all too sad. Oh and I did manage to stop my buddy who was wanting to blow up a /public/ mailbox full of letters waiting to be collected...
Surely a nice bunch of people there. Sighhh. No, no! That's sarcasm! In case you don't recognize it.
But all this can't beat my neighbor (now deceased) who as a little box after the end of WW2 wanted to punish a neighbor for mistreating his parents and blew up their mailbox. Problem was he used an altered 88 mm flak grenade and there were no windows left intact hundreds of meters around so him and his parents got in big trouble...
Stupid, in addition to being illegal. Some people never grow up. I think you're damned lucky you DID!
