Sweet, that's not real crime, that's people being smartasses, I'm sure they didn't want to hurt anybody, they just thought it wouldn't matter that much. Plus, who cares about the environment anyway?
One of my old tennts used to take yearly trips down to Michigan in a rented 24 foot ryder full of crushed popcans, and i mean FULL to the top.
he would always come back from visiting the family and buy a vehicle and sell his old one.. EVERY year, he finaly ended up buying a house for cash i thik few years back.
i can imagine his house getting filled up now with bags full of crushed cans instead of the apartment.
