Dad and I took the bent mailbox pole and used a sledge hammer to get it straight again, then put a metal bar inside the hollow tube and used it to attach to the broken section still in the ground. It worked really well, so we just needed to get a new mailbox. The people who hit it offered to pay, but the metal bar and the new box were all about 30 bucks, so not worth haggling over. Them being honest and coming by wasn't easy so we figured that was payment enough. We just hope nobody hits it again, because with that metal bar inside it the result might be a bit different!
