     The joke is that it was against the law for the people repaving the sidewalk to tamper with the mailbox, but it was also against the law to remove it, so they simply lifted it with the chunk of earth it was on, moved it the minimum distance required to do their jobs, finished the resurfacing, and left.

     Technically, the thing is still in exactly the same state as it was when they got there; it's the sidewalk that's moved.
