[QUOTE=Slim Charles;50695302]What's there to steal in a abandoned building?[/QUOTE]
Take only pictures, leave only footsteps.
I know it seems like nobody would mind if you took property from an abandoned building, but that mindset continuously degrades the quality of the experience for other urbexers.
2 grade A scumshits secured a $5 million investment to build a suburb of ~18 houses.
The area used had [I]no[/I] utilities, no power, no water, no sewage. They then sold these lots to people who had [I]no idea[/I] that these houses were completely fucking useless.
Lawsuits happened, both assholes are in federal prison, and millions in restitution are ordered.
Fire department deemed them too dangerous to even use for fire team training.
Had a neighborhood like this not too far from where I grew up.
My Dad and I went looking around a few times and it's still one of the eeriest things I've ever seen.
Clothes everywhere, busted TVs, utensils strewn about, old toys, etc.
Few years later the area was cleared out and another townhouse development went up.
This is only kind of related, but I'm not sure it's worthy of its own complete thread and it's also urbex, so have [URL="http://imgur.com/gallery/KabxJ"]this gallery of photos taken by a guy who snuck into the Fukushima exclusion zone.[/URL]
This is the creepiest of the photos, to me:

Five years after the earthquake, tsunami, nuclear accident, and evacuation, the traffic signals are still going, switching lights for empty roads that will probably never see car traffic again.
There's just something Japanese about traffic signals attempting to enforce proper safety rules at the site of the biggest peacetime nuclear disaster on Japanese soil.

I made the mistake of reading the comments. Fucking people don't know shit about radiation.
It's a shame so many comments are "you're already breaking the law, why not just take shit," making fun of urbexers' ethics, etc.

[QUOTE=abananapeel;50694778]What the heck did they call a "hoosier"? Thats not a term I hear many people outside of Indiana use. They said "A hoosier racing tire." Is that what people call Indy car tires or something? what was it doing in that forest? so many questions.[/QUOTE]
Hoosier is a brand of tire. That and the "track day bro" was a reference to this:

I've always loved how when the Japanese walk away from something, almost nobody fucks with it.
Like sure it's been only five years but think of places near you that have been empty for even one year? Even for moderately secure or remote places within that time frame someone's tagged it, someone else has stripped it of copper and someone else would of broken half the windows and of course, someone else would of ransacked the place looking for anything valueable.

Yeah, for some reason they had to "bab's first HDR filter" everything. I mean, look at this, this is tonemapping done badly.

I'll admit, i know little about radiation besides "It fucks you up really good if you get a good whif", What all should he need for an environment like that?

You ever heard of the abandoned mining town of Matsuo?
Its real creepy as shit, since i think both the elevation and probably some other nearby factors like rain and whatnot, theres a thick layer of fog usually blanketing the whole town, its essentially Silent Hill.

My memory is kinda foggy, but wasn't there some kind of japanese island city that is abandoned and super hard to reach? I swear there's even a Left 4 Dead map that I downloaded based on it...
[editline]12th July 2016[/editline]
Oh, I actually found it, it's [URL="http://www.cracked.com/article_18830_the-6-creepiest-places-earth-part-2.html"]Hashima Island[/URL] or Gunkanjima, look for number 5. It looks like something straight out of a horror movie.
