Polish tank theft - Polidicks

You know your tanks are crap when people try to steal them and sell them as scrap metal. I know they aren't operational.

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;25485098]Wow, fined $500-1000 for trying to steal 16 tanks[/QUOTE] Well, the tanks were made in Poland.

Those tanks needed some polish.

[QUOTE=Kim_Jong_il;25485137]Anyone remembered that one time a guy stole M60 tank and caused rampage across the streets which caused the police to chase him until he hitted a wall near a highway and when they opened his hatch,he was dead[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TIun536HFo[/media]

[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;25488638]Germans can make war machines that don't suck these days?[/QUOTE] German Self Propelled Artillery. [img]http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/futureweapons/photo/gallery/panzer.jpg[/img] Mounted on a tank chassis, gun is loaded by machinery, gun is computer controlled and GPS linked. This does everything BUT suck.

[QUOTE=InsanePyro;25485621]I thought he offed himself Blew his brains out with a Magnum I thought Or am I thinking of Killdozer?[/QUOTE] Yeah, Tank guy was shot, Killdozer guy shot himself. [editline]18th October 2010[/editline] Also if Killdozer hadn't gotten stuck and it's user committed suicide, the Police were talking with the National Guard about getting an AT Weapon, that's how strong he's built that thing.

[QUOTE=marcin1337;25488172]Poland buys tanks from Germany You calling German tanks scrap metal 0_0?[/QUOTE] Well, these tanks were Soviet, dating back to the 50s, IIRC, so the question is moot.

I would imagine the first place to get some stolen metal would be from rail road spikes but breaking into an army base and stealing tanks....

Metal theft happens in the states too, but not as bad I guess. In some of the more run down neighborhoods, the second a house gets foreclosed, people run in and strip the fuck out of it for metal. All of the metal gutters, copper wiring, the whole shebang gets stripped.

when i was in ukraine there were no manhole covers. well, there was one. and then about a few days later it was gone.

How the fuck can the army not see a bunch of tanks leaving a fucking base without them knowing? What the fuck?

those idiots, I told them to give them to me, not scrap them. what? I wanted one for my next avatar

Polish tank theft? What will I use to make my tank sparkle again now?

[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;25487162]How is this a crime? Any tanks Poland has, is only useful as scrap metal.[/QUOTE] Poland may have a small military in comparison to others but they're a good one.
