Traffic light thieves caught red-handed

Two men have been arrested in Buenos Aires for stealing traffic lights. The men, aged 19 and 38, were caught stealing lights from one of the Argentinian capital's busiest junctions. After they were arrested, policemen found another four sets of traffic lights they had stolen from other streets.

Thieves Light Traffic

Am I missing something here? Is there a black market in Argentina for traffic lights? These guys must have been really bored or had an issue with traffic signals.

Traffic Light Thieves History & Civil Business Politics

This is ridiculous . I never heard such a stupid crime in my whole life. I know the police may not know why these people were stealing these lights but I am sure there is a business they probably could get through by doing this. I do not know. It is so stupid, it is hard to understand why someone would want to do something so plain dumb.

Thieves Light Traffic

This is very funny to me. I wonder if they were selling them to a company who would reinstall them? There had to be money in it, or why do it?

Weird.

I've not heard of this one before, but there seems to be a spate of people taking speed cameras near us at the moment, and it seems really strange when you drive down the road and there are just metal stumps left behind!
It makes you wonder what they are doing with them all, I mean, where exactly do you store them at home?
