[quote]Richmond RCMP are scratching their heads after stopping a driver trying to load a full-sized refrigerator into the trunk of a small car.
Police found the driver in the parking lot of the Liquidation World store on the 3000 Sexsmith Road after someone called in a report.
"The fridge was one third in the trunk while the remainder teetered over the edge of the car's bumper. The fridge was secured to the vehicle using rope and the seatbelts from the back seat," said Const. Justin Stewart.
When the officer approached the driver and asked him if what he was doing was a good idea, much to Stewart's surprise the male replied that he thought what he was doing was okay, according to a statement issued by police.
But Stewart disagreed, and told the driver the load was unsafe for transport and explained just how dangerous his actions were. The driver apologized, removed the fridge from his trunk and arranged proper transportation, said police.
Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said while the situation may appear humorous, someone could have been seriously injured if the driver had managed to take to the road with the precarious load.
"We'd like to encourage people to please take the time to properly transport items. Insecure loads are to blame for collisions & injuries far too often, and these instances can be prevented," said Turley.[/quote]

I thought the article was referring to Richmond, VA until I noticed the source was a .ca site.

This is why I stay out of Richmond.
Apart from the Ikea there.

Probably some Asian or something...they're known to do be crafty like that...especially here
In Richmond, there is a LOT of them, so I'm not surprised
Hell might have frozen over if decided to drive with that.
I expected the RCMP doing something dumb, I was disappointed in that regard, but was amused at the actuality.
For those of you that read autoweek, "Moving Miscue #2363"
Richmond is Canadian version of Southern California but with more snow and free healthcare

I thought the article was referring to Richmond, CA and even when I saw the .ca I couldn't put it together.
God bless Canada and our Royal Canadian Mounted Police, that fridge had been put to justice.
If it was somewhere like Texas or Kentucky I'd say Redneck but [I]Canada[/I]?
I think this guy's a Facepuncher
And it would've worked too if it weren't for you damn meddling cops.
Good thing no-one was hurt, or this story would have been a lot more chilling.
