Bike Lane Repainters: "We're Self-Hating Jewish Hipsters"
Maurice Mizrahi was storing 87 stolen parking meters in the basement of his mother's Flatbush home when she ratted him out to police. Mizrahi has been arrested seven times this year for stealing meters. Neighbors describe him as a drug addict who hasn't showered in months. He has been spotted shaking meters around the neighborhood to find ones with the most change, at which point he is able to spin them away from their base and carry them home in a shopping cart. For the NYPD to remove the 87 meters from Mizrahi's mother's basement required 15 men and took 2-1/2 hours. Police are searching for Mizrahi who they say made off with $6000 in quarters.

You can just spin them away from the base? I'm not locking my bike to these anymore.
15 men 3 1/2 hours to remove 87 meters???? That's pathetic. We really do have the laziest workers in the world.
Sorry.... that would be 2 1/2 and still laziest.
Maybe he really likes 'Space Invaders'.
Cool Hand Luke!
How much does $6000 in quarters weight? Be on the lookout for a guy with heavy pockets!
#[3] breaking down the numbers--each member of the 15 NYPD group removed a total of about 6 meters and it would have taken each person approximately 26 minutes to remove each individual meter (assuming the meters were removed only one at a time).
However, some of the NYPD were possibly supervisors and some of the NYPD were probably assigned to donut retrieval, so the figures are probably off.
Small town, not much to do in the evenin'.
"Yards of meters." Very clever.
maybe he decided to finally do some laundry.
This guy just gave me a great idea...
Genius.
Let this be a lesson, kids, junkies can be real clever too!
Had to pay the rent somehow.
It's not the $6,000, it's all those lost fines becuse you can't ticket a vehicle parked at a missing or damaged meter. ( I wonder if the city tried anyway )
This guy must've been taking lessons from Bubbles.
#15 , yes they can, if i recall you can only park at a missing meter for 1 hour , however at a damaged meter for the length that the signs in the area specifies, ie 1 hour , 2 hour max
