I live on a state route and after a storm hit yesterday, I discovered my mailbox was knocked over and the post split in two by a plow. When I called the highway dept. asking if they'd replace it, they rudely said "no and it is a priveledge that the state allows people to have mailboxes along the road". Is this true? I can't believe this is their policy.

Man oh man, dont listen to the guy that says file a claim with your homeowners insurance. We're going to see him posting a question soon asking "Why did my homeowners insrance company drop me, and why can I only get really high rates now?". Filing more than 2 claims with them over a few years will get you dropped. As for getting the state or country to pay for it- its an assumed risk with plows. Sorry about your luck, but you'll just have to put up a new one.

Wow!! Are you serious?? What state do you live in? What a load of garbage!
In our state, the Road Commission is responsible. We replace the mailbox, then send them the bill (receipt) for reimbursement. They take forever to pay up, but they do.

My mailbox gets hit by drunks drivers or reckless drivers 3-4 times a year. Just get the police to write a report on how the county damaged your mailbox and turn it in to you home insurance. you should get reinbursed with replacing a new one.
