In the US mailboxes are considered federal property and protected under federal law.
Violators can be fined up to $250,000 and/or imprisoned for up to three years for each act of vandalism.
And say good-bye to your license.

Indeed. I speak from experience. Me and my buddies light up a few towns with our paintball guns and smashed a bunch of mailboxes with a crowbar and hammer. Well, I personally didn't shoot anything or smash any mailboxes, but I was with a group that was so I got to reap a fair portion of the punishment as well.

Good thing we were juveniles back then or we would have been in a shitload of more trouble. :thumbsup:
