It appeared in my neighborhood about a month ago and I had never seen it before. It looks like a camera of some sort (poorly) disguised as a cable box... last week when I was out for a walk, i noticed it was gone. There were three holes in the ground where it looks like it was staked in, but no loose cables or anything.

Time to put on a tin-foil-hat?

Where was it facing? Perhaps an optical car counter?

Pointed at the street. My first guess was it was reading license plates or recording speed...
But it was only there for a couple of weeks.... then gone!

That would be consistent with a traffic survey. It doesn't look like the tag scanners I'm familiar with.

Paratrooper Death Squad drop markers.

When the US government gives the order (once the lizard people come out of hibernation and no longer issue their commands via phenomenal telepathic "smell waves"), the robot Death Squads that have been orbiting in space (behind all the NASA "junk" - they are really space stations/robot Death Squad making factories) will drop onto America and KILL every man, woman and child, in order to enslave every American (even though they would be dead) and force them to serve the devil for all eternity.

It's a periscope. Now would be a good time to grab your bug out bag and get far away from the cities.

You probably have a USPS employee living close to that spot.
They may be on medical leave, etc. Sometimes inspectors will stake them out if there is suspicion that their claims are fraudulent. They will gather (photo/video) evidence to prove this person isn't actually disabled, for example.

They have even mounted fake pole pigs (transformers) high on poles installed by utility workers. This would be in day before wifi/4G etc.

Apparently a pin register on the POTS line isn't convicting enough. ;)

They go out of the ordinary to nab people because when caught, there is no weaseling out of it!http://kdvr.com/2015/03/11/mysterious-spy-cameras-collecting-data-at-post-offices/

COuld be used by the USPS for watching a mailbox after reports of theft or vandalism...

Could be used by anyone.

I've worked with various police departments and most major municipalities have a relationship with the local utilities where via court ordered warrant the utility (usually power) will place a new "transformer" or something of the sort with a camera/etc on it aimed at suspected grow houses and in areas of gang HQ/activity. Usually they are actual transformers with the camera added. STEALTH.

That pedestal you show isn't very stealthy though but then again most people wouldn't notice it as being odd.

This is a battery powered people counter, sent by the dolphins (they have human agents now).

If you live in Texas it doesn't matter what this is.
For the average Texan, it is something Obama planted to control the people with death rays once Obama reveals he will be president for another 8 years come 2016.
And ISIS will be hired on as his police force.
But every Texan already knows this. Just ask Rick.
