SCOTLAND, Pa. (WHTM) -

State police in Chambersburg are investigating an incident where someone took an authorized ride on a PennDOT pay loader.

The heavy equipment was parked south of Shippensburg last week, but sometime over the weekend was taken for a four-mile drive on Interstate 81.

Police said the pay loader was driven from Exit 24 for Fayette Street and ended up in a motel parking lot off the Scotland exit.

Investigators believe the unauthorized ride occurred sometime between Saturday at 7:30 a.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Anyone with information is asked to call state police in Chambersburg at 717-264-5161.

Didn’t a very similar incident happen in Philadelphia a few months ago?

He is the mighty warrior, warning us to leave to territory or face the consequences.

The frog drive-in, OTOH, almost turned into a frorgy.

If they didn’t leave the keys on the visor, they would not lose the payloader. LOL

[BwanaNdege]

So how much money did they pay the loader for taking the drive?

...

Oh, I get it now! Someone drove off on a PAYLOADER without permission and to an unauthorized place.

Each brand of equipment has 1 key that fits every piece generally. I have about 6 keys and can start almost every piece of heavy equipment.

They probably had to let him go. He showed that he could not keep his head under pressure. He seemed like a nice bloke though.
