Someone keeps putting leaves, weeds, and roots in my mailbox?

What can I do? It's annoying and disrespectful. I live in a nice neighborhood, and the fact that my mailbox is on my front porch, right outside my front door. 2 days ago, I found some weed roots that I had pulled up from my garden in my mailbox. I threw them back in my yard. Today, I find my mailbox stuffed almost full of roots, and leaves, and the mail man had come and had to stick the mail in funny.

How do I stop this?

Update:

*The same bundle of roots I took out 2 days ago and threw on the ground, were in my mailbox again today, with more.

Update 2:

All I have is a webcam and I don't know how to record videos with it. I work late nights so I sleep in late, and my fiance works early morning. The mailman normally comes about the time I get up.

What about a note on the mailbox like, ""Hey asshole, a camera is watching you." or something of the sort?

Update 3:

I have one tree in my front yard and it's only 7-8 feet tall and completely not near my mailbox, so I know it's not the wind blowing things into there. There'd be actual leaves on my porch itself.

    Do you have a camera? Set it somewhere to film who is stuffing your mailbox, then threaten the person to call the police with the video if they don't stop. Or retaliate by doing something similar to the one doing it to you. But I suggest the first one would be better suited.

    It is actually a federal crime for someone to tamper with your mailbox. If there is any way possible to set up a camera to record your mailbox, do it. Besides this, try to get a neighbor to keep an eye out for you, or take a couple days off work and keep a look out yourself.
