Parking meters lifted in Corpus
Associated Press
CORPUS CHRISTI — Drivers aren’t the only ones trying to find parking meters in downtown Corpus Christi.
Police are searching for thieves after 10 coin-filled meters were stolen in the past two weeks.
Capt. Michael McKinney told KRIS-TV, in a story Wednesday, that the meters are worth about $850 apiece, not including other costs to install the devices.
McKinney says the thieves are “uprooting” the meters from the ground. The heists have occurred in the early-morning hours.
McKinney says theft of the meters is a felony and “it’s really not worth it for this kind of money.”
How would you even come up with a crazy ass idea to steal a parking meter? Like the cop said it seems like a lot of risk for not much reward. If you're going to go the crazy route why don't you put in the extra effort and learn how to jack an ATM or rob a liquor store. There's got to be a better way to get some scrilla.
