Longtime readers of this blog are no doubt already aware that when it comes to heavy equipment, front end loaders seem to be involved in more than their fair share of questionable incidents. For some reason, these machines just can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble.
The question we'd like to ask today, however, is this: are front end loaders the perpetrators, or are they the victims?
You tell us.
"Man Charged with Joyriding in Front End Loader"
According to the Smithville Review, one brazen young man absconded with a front end loader before joy riding it straight past the local sheriff's department. While Gregory Wayne Elliot, 21, may not have hatched the most intelligent plan of all time, we're sure he had fun while it lasted.
"Runaway Teen Pulled Over in Stolen Front End Loader in Florida"
Ah, Florida. Home of sun, sand, surf, and wacky news. In October, Naples Daily News reported that when one plucky North Florida teen decided to run away from home, he didn't let his lack of access to a motor vehicle stop him. Filching a front end loader from a nearby job site, this thirteen-year-old took off at top speeds of 25mph, making it all of three miles before being apprehended by authorities just 277 miles short of his goal: the South Florida city of Fort Lauderdale.
It seems difficult to imagine a respectable front end loader wanting to joyride past the sheriff's department or accompany thirteen-year-olds on impromptu jaunts to Fort Lauderdale.
Perhaps these seeming crime waves involving front end loaders are perhaps just many cases of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or perhaps it is the case that front end loaders are just so fun to drive and operate that every man, young and old wants to take one for a spin.
