Time for neighborhood watch.
Dont have any problems like that on my street.
Most neighbors are cool and keep a look out.
There is almost always someone awake at night outside of something.
Our problem is shootings by someone on foot or in a car.

Kids walking home from school will put the flags up or swing the doors open on the mail boxes. Never really damage them though. About a year ago someone hit mine with a bat or kicked it. I welded one up out of 1/8" thick plate, it looks like a bird house. The post is steel 2" x 2" sq. tubing w/ 1/8" wall. I painted it flat black. Its pretty strong and could take a hit. I also used 60 lbs. of concrete to set the post. Its a pretty solid unit, but could be knocked over or down if they hit it with a car or put the effort into it. I am sure whatever they use would be damaged also. Havent had someone attempt to hit it yet.
