Trafficking in traffic lights
Q: What's wrong with this picture? A: The lack of red, green & yellow lights atop the pole in the foreground.Checking in on the local news, 30 traffic lights were stolen from the San Telmo neighborhood in the past two weeks alone. In a 2-block area-- Avenida Paseo Colón betw. Juan de Garay & San Juan--"more than 12" traffic lights were filched in just 15 days, according to La Nacion. The robberies have cost the government about $250,000.00 (Arg. pesos) so far this year. The thieves are after the aluminum, which fetches between $5.50 & $8 per kilo. The newspapers advise pedestrians to look both ways before crossing San Telmo streets.

Down in my beloved Baltimore, the more enterprising thieves have taken to hacking down entire lightpoles - over a hundred of them. The BsAs guys are getting a much better price for their troubles though - even assuming you're talking pesos, that's about 80 cents to the pound on the cheap side to Bodymore, Murderland's ¢35. Poor Baltimore, can't even cannibalize itself successfully.
what the goverment must do is tell the people to act when they see this fuckers, and when they finish, tie the wise to the poles and put a sign on them for 2 days, naked, the way they are leaving BS AS , you cant improve with counter/socials like these...i love the city, pardon me...
