In reply to the discussion: man steals full size playground slide for his child's bedroom [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)34. You will be surprised. I watched furniture movers work once when they were moving me.
They figure out the best angles to get gigantic things through doors. He had to have help, or he is supper strong (I once had a guy deliver a cabinet to my home, he brought it in on his back, no issues. When I had it moved, it took two men and a robust dolly). But any rate, they likely turned the slide on its side, then weaved it through doors into the room. The story says that he sawed it off, likely because the original supports would not have allowed them to move it into the house. The sad thing is the guy seems to have decent mechanical and adhoc engineering skills (important skill for craftpeople working on a manufacturing floor), but he is likely too lazy to sweat for a paycheck, so he steals what he wants.

Evidently there are two metals in the converters that have sky-rocketed in price.
