I have no idea about the details of Leej's story, but I can tell you about one that can be documented if you care to....I will not post a name here, but a citizen confronted with the same problem as Leej's, that is teens playing mailbox baseball. It was in June of 1978 in Fairfield County in Ohio. In this case, the teens had been previosuly identified but the Sheriff's department could not prove they had heen the vandals. At this point, Citizen X erected a mailbox with a piece of steel rail welded to the post and the mailbox set on top. He had the welding done at an automotive shop in Reynoldsburg, Ohio where he had his cars repaired and serviced.

The vandals attacked his mailbox on SR204 about a week later and the batter received a broken wrist. Charges were filed against the youths involved and no one counter-sued in this case.

No urban myth here. I doubt Leej's is a myth either.
