I really wish that this was made up. Its not.

Idiots.

The fact that there’s only one rope I can see holding it on makes it that much better.

I'm a little sad they got stopped before their appointment with the low bridge.

I will admit that I’m impressed that it hadn’t fallen off, but still......

There are actually some low bridges around where this happened

I don’t trust people that use rope to secure things in a bed anymore. Just go to harbor freight and buy a 4 pack of 15 foot long ratchet straps for $10, get your free tape measure with purchase and secure the cargo like a normal person.

Of course there are. It's the natural habitat for this type of decision maker!

Apparently he was bringing the van to be scrapped.

Just a few more bungies and he’d be alright.

When scrap was super high I used to get to see this stuff often back in Davenport.

What’s curious is how they got the Van up there. If they don’t have access to a trailer I’d assume they don’t have a backhoe, loader or fork truck either.

That was exactly what I was thinking! How in the hell does one have the equipment to do THAT, but not a freaking trailer?

To be fair we’re stuck with Lowes and Home Depot around here

I believe that but he’s a solid 20 minutes/10 miles from the nearest scrapyard

That is the real mystery here

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Trunk Impaired 318 04/26/2016 at 13:29

Looks safe to me.

Coincidentally this did occur down by the river.

Where was that? If I had to guess, I’d say Gloversville... maybe Amsterdam?
