More stolen lampposts

Phideaux draws our attention to yet another attempt at stealing lampposts by strapping them to the roof of a car. In Florida, this time. A month ago it was the Netherlands.

At least they were conscientious enough to tie a rag on to warn following drivers.

I assume they tried explaining that they were just helping out by cleaning up some hurricane debris.

Maybe these guys want these poles to use for pumpkin cannons.

If they would have rented a trailer, bought some red flags, and had a phony contractor/service decal made for the vehicle, they could have hauled away a lot of them without anyone noticing. It always falls back to the old "it takes money to make money" and "never steal anything small" rules.
