They got busted: [http://www.wgrz.com/news/news\_article.aspx?storyid=41489](http://www.wgrz.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=41489) Basically because they were bragging about it. > Police say the break in this meter-snatching case came Wednesday night when a suspect was drinking and bragging. "An individual was in a liquor establishment bragging about being the parking meter thief,” Chief Gibson said. But that didn’t stop Brown from playing it up like it was Buffalo crack team of super cops that figured it out: > “The message should be loud and clear to anyone committing crime in buffalo,” Mayor Brown announced. “We will hunt you down, arrest you, convict you, and send you to jail.” No Mr Brown, the message is you can easily get away with crime in Buffalo if you’re not dumb enough to get drunk and brag about it in front of strangers. ---

> [@RedDawg](#): > > the double meters weigh a ton, need at least 3 guys to carry them and they’re a pain in the ass to crack open. or so i hear :snky: Allegedly one person could do a flying tackle and knock one out of the ground. And I guess it would take a bunch of people to carry it like 4 blocks if they were so inclined :snky: And I assume if it were to drop on someones ankle it could cause some slight discomfort :mad: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/free-parking-downtown-for-now/17847.md?page=1)
