WTF: Thieves in Baltimore steal Light Poles off the streets

Im gonna start stealing grass blades from my neighbors lawns. Then find out a way to sell them...

 

Idea: Steal enough and you could get some elves (Santa's, maybe) to stitch them all together and paint them the proper shade of green. Then you'll have an everlasting lawn that you don't need to mow!

 

And you can illuminate it with the light pole you steal :D

Yeha, i live in Baltimore, na di think its just rediculous. They actually sell for a ton, but they are hard to transport. They just hacksaw the poles off, and tape off the cut wire ends. They found a few people by police seeing large objects sticking out of the back of a pickup truck, and the police go and find light poles. Morons... :nut:

Yeah, people steal stop signs and roads signs all the time. Most of the time its just a prank (possibly why someone would steal toilet paper instead of that new HDTV...) im just guessing, I don't know.

 

But yeah, one time some people stole a stop sign for a prank and a person wrecked and died as a result so the people who stole the sign got charged with murder. Sucks that a prank led to someone's death, and got them thrown in jail. :(

Seems like more trouble than it's worth, eh? I mean, how much do those things go for on the lamp post black market? They wouldn't make very good scrap metal (though I'm sure they find a way around it).

Well, if you do the math for 250 pounds of scrap metal selling for 30-35 cents you get $75.00-$87.50.

They're darkening Baltimore for the vampire invasion of 2006. You know, so that then they can launch a quick suprise strike at Arlington Cemetary, revive the long dead heroes of old, and turn America into a country filled with ghouls and ghasts and things that go bump in the night.

 

Or they're doing it for the hell of it.

Well, these people in Norway had their whole hedge stolen. So why the Heck not?

 

This buddy of mine in high school had his locker door forced open - the only thing missing was a pencil (maybe there was nothing else of value in there, but c'mon, still:rolleyes:).

 

People are getting more and more bold, that's the thing.

I remember when I was a kid, our house was broken into. The thieves took my dad's laptop case, took out the laptop, put it on the bed, took the empty case, and filled it full of my mother's fake jewelry. They even took my baby teeth that were in the jewelry box. They left the laptop on the bed, but made sure to stop by my room and steal my rainbow alarm clock before leaving.

 

Though they did take the VCR... at least they got something out of it. I kind of felt sorry for them.
