This is so funny:
“The new law also includes materials that dealers may not buy under any circumstances, beginning with anything marked as belonging to telephone or utility companies.
Also on the list are manhole and water meter covers, streetlights, guardrails, traffic lights, street signs and beer kegs. “
Anyone out there have a spare guardrail? lol
Crack heads, meth heads and crooked scrap dealers and metal price increases guarantee more of this.
Went to my Fathers grave on Memorial day and most of the flower vases around his grave were missing.
How about a “spare” railroad track, that shouldn’t go with out notice for long? /S
Years ago, street signs were made of a good grade of aluminum, at least a 1/4" thick.
We'd consume the contents of a keg, then go out and look for street signs, with which we would fashion parts (they call them "billet", now) for our chop/bob motorcycles.
Or did we look for the street signs and then consume the contents of a keg?
Any way, street signs ain't made out of aluminum anymore and the only way to get "billet" stuff for your scoot is to shell out big bucks.
Anyone out there have a spare guardrail? lol
Fortunately, one of these never came into play, in the midst of the sign stealing, keg consuming, bob/chop motorcycle riding activities of my misspent "youth".
I travel to work fairly early, usually before 6am. Last fall, when it's dark till probably 7, I saw a guy with a POS truck that had a piece of perfectly good guardrail in it from the side of the road...and a cop behind him. Truck was still there on my way home. His mistake was doing it on an interstate. There's plenty on back roads that aren't really traveled tween 1 and 5.
