'The weirdest thing’: Dozens of old TV sets found on lawns

HENRICO, Va. (WWBT) - At least 60 people in Henrico woke up to an odd surprise on their front lawns: old-school television sets.

“It was a guy dressed in a jumpsuit with a TV for a head. It’s the weirdest thing. He squats down, puts the TV there and walks off. It’s really weird,” said Adrian Garner, reviewing the home security footage which caught one of the masked suspects.

“My first reaction was, ‘Did we order this?’ Not in an Amazon box, it was just kind of strange," Garner added.

Police believe it was more than one person involved in the stunt, saying that they rounded up all the TVs within an hour.
They will properly dispose of them with the county’s Solid Waste Division.

1. Sad fate of the obsolete

That was indeed strange; perhaps the "pranksters" were making some kind of commentary, thinking themselves clever?

The problem of getting rid of old school TV sets is real, however. Most Goodwill stores won't accept them anymore, even if the sets are functional...and collections for old electronic devices are few and far between.

3. Yeah but the TV head thing is funny

I’m curious as to where they got all the TV’s. The dump?

Funny, the cops aren’t sure it is a crime.

2. Some people way have too much time on their hands.

They probably spent days to weeks gathering up all those out dated TVs and hours putting them out in people's yards and then they were rounded up within an hour.

Sleepy bedroom communities. No one noticed them.

5. Dumping unwanted household waste on other people is so funny

The city will likely have to pay $ to dispose of it. Whomever is responsible needs to be arrested
