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

How do you know the prank was harmless? What about if someone falls after having a stack of fake boxes collapse on them?

Keys stored on the lift/ignition?
Odd I never heard of it. I drove lifts for 4 different companies and never was told that.

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.

Oh no, a cop breaking the law and causing harm to the people they claim to serve and protect! This is unprecedented!
Oh. Wait. No, it's not.

How hard is it to trace machinery? I wouldn’t mind an industrial backhoe for some gardening projects..

I can't help but notice that the people who keep getting arrested for fentanyl trafficking are cops and cop affiliates.

And even then in the developing world the birth rate has been declining. Mexico's birth rate today is the same as the US birth rate in the late 2000s.

It's really impressive how often keys are left in the ignition or just somewhere on heavy machinery like this. They probably won't change anything and just hope no one else has the same idea.
