Problem is my mailman comes in a car, an old beater, and my box is at the road, some 150 feet up the driveway...I imagine watching him get the package in there might be entertaining, but I bet he would make me drive to town to get it....alas, rural living has it drawbacks.
However, we do have half full 'official state beverage bottles' out by the mailbox occassionally....I can't figure out how they get there....must be recycling....
We have an open container law here...I can't see some one pitching them out of the car (especially half full, unless pursued by a cop)....
I was hit by a drunk driver so I do not take kindly to that kind of thing. I would pitch it back...and I can aim. I won't say how I learned that skill, somethings are best left unsaid.
Rocks or banjoes....I am not sure which is more sadistic.

My rocks are pretty, but heavy too.
If you visit the Creative forum here you can see some examples.
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread37189.html
The heaviest ones were the raw Petoskey stones, that I am hand polishing for a project (I will make a planter out of them).
The next heaviest (30lb) were the mixed quartz crystals that needed
cleaning/sorting.
I have some raw amethyst coming...that will be 10lb next week.
Yes, I did give my mail carrier (Dave) some Xmas chocolate. We also shovel a path thru our yard where he cuts over to the neighbors...we are talking about 1/2 acre of shoveling...so he appreciates us. I gave him a refrig. magnet I made from puddingstone. He was a little clueless on that one.
Just about 100% of Ebay uses USPS now. A couple of UPS but USPS is fairly reasonable. The flat rate boxes are the heaviest.
