The problem with that is if your super duper reinforced immovable mailbox caused an injury in any way, you could be held liable. I was going to do something similar when my mother in law was getting her mailbox ran down at the rate of once per year but was advised not to. So instead I bought a small boulder to set next to it, one with a nice sharp point on the top. I figured it was small enough that it wouldn't hurt anyone, but it would at least take out a tire if someone decided to run it down. It's been six years since I did it and that mailbox is still standing. Although it didn't stop someone from crashing into her house a couple years later.
