[Shop-talk] Mailbox to end all mailboxes

[Steven Trovato]

When it comes to intentional acts, vandalism, the problem is that 
whatever clever idea you come up with can be taken as a challenge to 
the delinquent, now that you've made him look bad in front of his 
fellow delinquents.  Then he may feel obligated to come back for a 
more aggressive second attempt.  The only thing that I think has made 
a dent in this sort of behavior is the ubiquitousness of video 
surveillance.  You never know when you'll be caught by a camera.  And 
then you have to explain to mom what you were really doing out in her 
car Saturday night.
