Hate to say it but there are trucks that drive around take free liberty of things they see anywhere close to the street. I guess if the police called them on it they would say they thought the person was throwing the goods out or giving them away. Too bad no one lays down ground rules. Just don't leave anything near the street these days unless you intend to give the item away.   more ›

Heaven forbid anyone should mess with the State's book keeping and revenue generating even in an infinitesimal way, but if you threaten the lives of others on the highway, it's no big deal?   more ›
