A guy around here says he knows a farmer who was tired of having his mailbox smashed by heavy objects throw from passing cars. A lot of people with hobbies and special interests like to decorate their mailboxes with their particular theme so this farmer decided to disguise his defense as a farm theme. He mounted a plow share such that it blocked the mailbox from car-thrown objects. And with a little barnyard engineering and Kentucky windage, he managed to tilt the plow share just right so that whatever hit it would rebound into the car that threw it. It was reported that it worked so well the first time that the car had an accident.
This sounds like a rural legend but I had never heard it.
