December 1st, 2015: Chained Bats Thanksgiving morning, in San Francisco, either the police found or somebody reported, a baseball bat with nails, chained to a parking meter. Quote:
Then they found another one, and another, and another, and at 4:45 PM they found the 27th bat... on Nov 26th. Quote:
27 wood baseball bats, nails, and 27 lengths of chain ain't exactly pocket change, even at scrap prices, although the second picture looks like it's pieced together with plastic wire ties. So somebody spent a couple bucks or went to the trouble to steal all that stuff... must have been on a mission. Maybe it was 27 places they planned to shop on black Friday, the 27th, and planned to smash the meters with the bats to save parking fees? Well I haven't heard a better reason. link CAUTION, loud, self starting video ad, but scroll down just a quarter page and hit stop on the left like a youtube video. fargon Tuesday Dec 1 06:58 AM There are some real Freaks in this world. Clodfobble Tuesday Dec 1 07:59 AM Dude, it's in San Francisco. My money's on art installation, making a lame "statement" about Black Friday. fargon Tuesday Dec 1 08:10 AM Usually the artist wants recognition for there work. Nobody has come forward to claim credit for the installation. Now that the cops are involved we may never know who did it. glatt Tuesday Dec 1 08:20 AM I like it. It's art. lumberjim Tuesday Dec 1 11:31 AM to frighten away meter maids? Diaphone Jim Wednesday Dec 2 12:14 PM Even though this seems to be the kind of vacuous story local TV news shows love, for some reason I saw NO mention of it on any of the 4 outlets in the SF Bay Area. xoxoxoBruce Wednesday Dec 2 12:33 PM It was Thanksgiving, Jim, you were sleeping off that turkey. Diaphone Jim Thursday Dec 3 12:34 PM Sorry Bruce, that link was a video which, being on dial-up, I ignore like texts in native languages from the Congo. xoxoxoBruce Friday Dec 4 01:03 AM Shit, I must have previewed and didn't submit.. again. Snakeadelic Thursday Dec 10 09:24 AM Bruce, I feel your pain. We didn't even get DSL until 2007, and subsequently made no changes to our internet service until last month. Amazing how a company's reputation varies by region...we went with Charter and now consider CenturyLink to be worse than an insurance company (predatory customer retention tactics do not sit well with me or my nearest & dearest). Where my parents live, the reputations are reversed. Sundae Thursday Dec 10 10:12 AM I'm glad this isn't what I thought it was.
