Things like this happen. Over the 24 years I lived in Maine we lost two or three. The town replaced them - standard wood cross-bar posts and black metal mailboxes - but I suspect the policy is on a town-by-town basis. If you managed to go 25 years without losing a mailbox, then I'd think that speaks very well of the skill of your plow drivers. Until I've spent some serious time behind the wheel of a plow truck, I won't be quick to judge.
