Not only what you said, but there is supposed to be a 25,000 $ fine for intentionally damaging mailboxes, but when they catch kids smashing them they slap their wrist and send them on their way.
I have to rent a P O Box for $45 a year because my mailbox was getting smashed weekly without fail.
The USPS has been great, to a USPS person with whom I've interacted in my great state of Idaho.
