FWIW, it's the heavy-duty (Tuff Box was the name, IIRC) 20+lb box that Home Depot carries for ~$65. Money well spent, since we don't use the flag much anyway, and they probably offer replacements cheap.
If you have the right surrounding to make this work....get you a Game Camera. They are great, even work in total darkness. Get it mounted up high enough they cant get to it then wait.....After their next visit, take the pics to the S.O.... the Newspaper, and then call the FBI or you local Postal Inspector's Office!
Tampering with mail, or destroying a mailbox are both FEDERAL CRIMES punishable by 3 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.
