News right out of Miami...

Here we have a rather "non-descript" looking vehicle with a 35-foot street light pole carefully strapped and balanced atop it.... albeit deviod of the high-pressure sodium fixture that once brillantly adorned the bracket's end. One would normally think that seeing something like this tooling down the highway would be a bit out-of-the-norm. Miami's Finest just happened to....and followed the perp right to a junk metal dealer that happened to be in the vicinity of the "mishap". The apprehending police officer's car is immediately behind said booty (look closely)....

Click here [id=250468169] for a thrilling look at how this procedure in the wild is manifested.

Said perp was arrested for knocking down a number of "missing" street light poles, traced to where he had been selling them. For scrap. Now, isn't that "thinking green?" That is, outright eliminating electrical consumption (otherwise intended for the safe lighting of our roadways)... and at the same time recycling such alunimum poles as scrap metal as seen here? For their timely smelting for our supply of beer and soda cans; lawn chairs and other vital alunimum stuff fulfilling the vital and intrinsic needs of America... probably for the next year and beyond....

There's no kidding here, folks. This has become as quick-hit-and-run-and-sell it epidemic ever since scrap metal hit an all time high since last summer. Some of the perps doing these jobs apparently are trying to maintain that rather lofty status....
