When I was a kid I used to mess around in the woods and came across a logging site. The keys were in the bulldozer so I started it and took it for a joy ride. I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so I left it running. Later I learned that diesel engines of that era had a mechanical lever that pushed on the injection pump to shut them down.

Hmmm, this does not really make me hungry. On the other hand, do this for beef, and mass produce this artificially grown meat that otherwise tastes exactly like the real thing, then that will go a fair way towards both feeding people and saving the planet (not to mention a fair few cows).

In a time where women are grabbed by sex traffickers, where rape statistics are ABSURDLY high, and you have no idea if this woman has suffered any form of trauma (like fucking giving birth, which can absolutely alter a woman's mental state) it is the HEIGHT of victim blaming to say she was overreacting about this. In the less than a second it took for her to become disoriented, panic can set in and take over. It's not her fault, and it is NOT OK. Kids being kids is no excuse, and yes, they should be punished.

It's more about preventing unauthorized use, it ties into

1917.43(b)(3) When a powered industrial truck is left unattended, load-engaging means shall be fully lowered, controls neutralized and brakes set. Unless the truck is in view and within 25 feet (7.62 m) of the operator, power shall be shut off. Wheels shall be blocked or curbed if the truck is on an incline.

This is what I have seen cited

Getting it to your place would be the hardest part. Not being seen by someone inclined to call the cops, basically. They're slow, so you'd have to do it when there's no traffic to back up. Maybe like 2:45/3:00 in the morning. Well after bars close, but before the super early work shifts start. You'll want to bring extra fuel, and maybe chose something with tires that can drive a bit faster.
