Stuck in the mud: An employee for a Shadyside company reported someone hotwired a crane truck that had been parked in the right-of-way going into Friendship Park and drove away, Nov 15. Deputies said the lift-crane had been driven down a steep graded field to what appeared to be an old creek bottom, where it got stuck. Deputies said a panel had been removed to expose the electrical system and “numerous wires had been spliced open and connected together.” Employees said the same truck had been entered the day before, but they hadn’t reported it. On that occasion the fire extinguisher had been removed and sprayed on the truck’s tires. That was also when the dashboard panel was originally removed.
