    Theft and the fact they tend to be in locations (like street corners) where cars may crash into them.

    There’s a really OG mailbox in my town, it’s bent a full 10° towards the house it stands in front of, has classification as a historical relic and all, that has been run into by cars at least 3 times per year since cars were around.

    It is still standing.

    At one point (around when it got its classification), they put safety poles around it.

    Until they got removed, they ended up getting replaced every year because they were all bent to hell from new accidents.
