Hook your truck up to your trailer and relocate about 100 yards left or right. This way your driveways won"t line up. Problem solved.
You could also turn your trailer around and then he would be looking into you back yard.

There is also the option to take the extension cord from the block heater and wire it to his truck door handle.

Show him the battoo and he will realize who he is messing with

I'd put the pieces in a bag, print out a website that is currently having deals on dodge taillights, even EBAy. And print out the webpage of the mailbox youd like to replace yours.
Oh and add the "Merry Christmas" note. And if you want put something in it that says. "I know you did it but it's Christmas and We're all in a rush and I forgive you." Then lets see him talk bad about you. Sorry you got douchebag neighbors

Tie a rope from his hitch to his mailbox, so when he leaves in the morning, he backs out and pulls his box down. That would only work if it is dark in the morning like it is here though. If it is not dark, tie the rope to your truck when he is gone and pull around on it, then leave the broken tail light at the scene.

Or, just go over there and confront him. If he denies it, then start a war.

Call the cops and have him charged with hit and run. You do have proof.

Fueds between neighbors can get ugly. Think twice before doing someting you regret.

I'd show him the tail light shards and ask him what's up.

Just remember you have to live next to or near these people.

That's eactly what I was thinking as I was reading through the replies. No super glue though. Duct tape would work good. Something rediculously obvious and stupid looking. It doesn't seem like enough though. Maybe cut his mailbox down and stick it in an old plant pot or something similar filled with rocks so that the mailbox stands up and put it directly behind his truck on the other side so when he backs out of his driveway, he hits his own mailbox with the other light.

Bring the pieces over and tell him you are sorry that your mailbox jumped behind his truck while he was backing out. Tell him it will never happen again.

Just go over and ask him to reset the mailbox. That alone should embarrass him.

I'd walk over fix the tailight for him. When he asks what your doing, tell him the superglue and duct tape your using should hold up longer the Dodge Truck.

I find this funny because it's not your mailbox, it's your parents.

Probably thinks your a d-bag for plugging in your vehicle all 4 seasons.
