Fresh Front End Loader Hijinks

Longtime readers of this blog know that from time to time, we like to highlight a fresh wave of crime from the world's front end loaders. Despite their seeming inability to keep out of trouble, these majestic machines hold a special place in our hearts.



Although we're used to hearing about front end loaders being used in bank robberies and ATM heists, this is the first time we've heard of a front end loader being used to rob a car wash. Early in December in Western Australia, thieves used a front end loader to smash their way into the building, making off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Although it's unclear how much the thieves made off with, it's been estimated that they did upwards of $100,000 worth of damage in the process.

Speaking of damage, one front end loader was recently implicated in drug-addled shenanigans. In Battle Creek, Michigan, this unlucky loader was lifted from a lot and driven around town by a 29-year-old male under the influence of narcotics. Although it seems that the loader was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, it still doesn't look good for the reputation of front end loaders in general.

Meanwhile, one hapless front end loader up in Saskatoon, while trying to do a good deed and clear some snow (it's Canada after all), snagged some power wires and shut down the city's morning commute.

Luckily no one was injured but police had to close the 33rd Street between Seventh Avenue and Spadina Crescent for repairs (News Talk CK-Com).

We'd like to take this time to remind the owners of front end loaders to practice wise ownership and keep their machines out of trouble when they can. The world thanks you for your diligence.
