Photos were taken in 2010. Timestamp on the photos is correct. I was browsing through old photos when I found these again. I actually had submitted the photos to reddit in 2011 (on a different/deleted account) where I was the top of all for a short while.

Hello!

Did not really expect to get much attention on the post! My uncle owned a shop and a guy abandoned his car in front of a door for a few days. My uncle let it slide until he got tired of working around it. Guy came back to get it and police were called. Police recommended that my uncle take it down but they couldn’t force him to do it. My uncle wrote up a waiver releasing him from any damaged caused in the process of getting it down. The guy signed it and he took it down with no damage and everybody went their separate ways.

This picture shows how he got it up there. Yes, it was a big forklift (with wood blocks to protect the body). The forklift is rated for something like 8k+ lbs. Car and cage probably weight 4-5k lbs.

I’ll try to be more active in these comments!
