I hope you concreted him in good and proper Colin, it's the type of mail box that would go walk about.

Lynn, are you suggesting I need to put a pair of pants on him I haven't had him complain yet but certainly got the attention of my mail delivery people and a few passers by I just decided that I did not want a Gender Neutral letter box
Luke, he's not going anywhere fast as he's welded down to a 20mm thick plate with lots of ties into the 1/2 ton of concrete below. If he does get stolen, he won't be too hard to identify.

Hi Colin,
A lot of work went into that, well done.
At the Great Dorset Steam Fair in England a 20 foot high welded sculpture of a WW1 soldier was put on display, made from identifiable items of scrap, here is a link to a BBC news item, hope it works:

Hi Colin,
that is a great letter box. Did you put solar lights in his eyes? I can imagine someone driving by at night time and seeing some red glowing eyes and hitting the gas petal.
Regards Sean.

John, I am surprised at the offers and comments I've had with him considering I just made him for a bit of fun. I wanted to use his manly attribute as a lever to open the lid of the letterbox but thought is might cause a bit of a problem with the lady postie that delivers here.
Sean, the red eyes certainly is on the cards and maybe a predator on the other side of my driveway.
