I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.

While the FBI, US Marshals and the CSI guys get all the glory, the very 
best cops in the world work for the
US Postal Service. I assure you, they _will_ get those mailbox wreckers. 
They have wonderful surveillance
equipment, and have faced with this same thing repeatedly.  And your 
mailbox is THEIR territory.

That happened in our neighborhood (Georgia) a few years ago. Took 'em 
less than two weeks to catch 'em.

Lodge a complaint, just stand back and watch.
