Pranksters place pink car on high school roof

06/14/2006, 10:49 AM

By admin

When students arrived to JFK High School early Monday morning they were greeted by a pink car sitting on top of the school’s one-story roof. The pranksters removed the car’s engine and other heavy components. Officials have no idea who was responsible for the prank, but they have determined a crude ramp was used to drag the Honda Accord body onto the roof. “It was completely gutted out to make it as light as possible for their prank,” said Det. Lt. John May of Nassau’s Second Squad. “It was very well planned and executed.” Pranksters removed the car’s VIN number so police couldn’t trace the car back to its owner.

That’s great. At my high school years before I was there, they took apart a VW bug and put it back together in the courtyard.

Good old harmless fun. Keeps the kids doing something fun and harmless, instead of bad things. Wish my friends had the balls to pull something like this off in school. All we did was climb the roof and hang signs (not as fun)

There’s nothing better than a well executed prank in which there are no derogatory implications.

If this is Nassau County NY, the reason the Police are involved is because they are no doubt attempting to track the “perps” in hope of filing felony Reckless endangerment, vandalism, disturbing the peace etc. charges.

No doubt this act of “Terrorism” falls under the auspices of the Dept. of Homeland Security, so they’ll soon be involved. Do you think there is any Al Quida connection?

The graduation prank at my high school (more than a decade ago) involved the disassembly and reassembly of a complete VW Microbus, but with a hole in the center of the vehicle such that the bus was reassembled with an existing tree seeming to be “growing” out of the center of it, through the roof of the vehicle. Very meticulously done.

#8: Agree. Old prank. But the color is unique and very tasteful.

#9: maybe you’ll think otherwise when your kid is walking under that roof and suddenly the whole damn thing collapses…I agree they should just remove it and be done with it, but it’s an irresponsible act, no matter how you twist it.

Shut up #12. Grow a pair. The roof DIDN’T collapse. At least they didn’t do a prank that damaged property or hurt people. Somebody’s always gotta complain about everything, don’t they? Find a hobby #12, you might find that you won’t have time to complain about harmless pranks.

#13: right. Maybe *you* should shut your trap though, since nobody knows how long the roof will hold with that thing on top (assuming it’s still up there). It’s because of irresponsible pranks like this that people get killed. Are you the one who’s going to tell the family their loved one died? Ass.

Ever heard of the saying no harm no foul? look man, there was no harm in this prank. They didn’t flush cherry bombs down toilets and destroy the plumbing, causing hundredres of thousands of dollars in flood damage, or let loose disease-infested rodents in the school, or put thumb tacks on teachers’ chairs. And how many deaths do you know of are caused by pranks like these? I’m pretty sure more people die from sun cancer. You want to take a stance on something and complain to save lives, do it on something that actually matters.

That thing is probably pretty light, maybe 1200-1500lbs (?). How many heavy snows occurred without the roof caving in?

“It was completely gutted out to make it as light as possible for their prank,� said Det. Lt. John May of Nassau’s Second Squad. “It was very well planned and executed.� The roof can most likely hold about 2000lbs they have to be ready for every thing.

“VIN number”? That’s like saying “vehicle identification number number”. Bush league, leftlane news.
