mail box vandalism suggestions

Marlborough, CT(Zone 6a)

My mail box has been damaged twice this year, both times late Saturday night. The first time a friend repaired it. The second time it was too badly damaged. Our postlady has been putting the mail in an unused newspaper box. I have been contemplating what to do and will also need to replace a lantern that was damaged in the first attack. The mailbox is 250ft from the house so our ability to monitor is limited. No nearby neighbors. I have a garden around the mailbox post and it looked very pretty last year so I would like to make the area presentable again. I am concerned that the replacement mail box and lamp would be damaged again. Our insurance deductible is $500.

Suggestions welcome.
