Except it’s just another line item that inflates their budget for next time, which will be used to further militarize. It’s better than guns, but not as good as hiring people (or paying for training) to deescalate instead of shooting people. Or even just feeding people. 🤷♂️
I believe I read somewhere that a local wheel shop loans them to the constables temporarily for events like this. Not sure, but would be pretty wasteful if not
I did a variation of this years ago. To put my house number on the bin I used a racing roundall and number, then some Brembo and Spacro decals for extra race vibe.
Honestly, printing a pair of these, spraying them and attaching with zip ties would be perfect. Just the right mix of 3d printing and stupid to make it next level funny.
Now if you were legit doing it because you thought it gave you a leg up or whatever, that’s just dumb.
The unfortunate aspect of these novelty wheels is that some online reports state that they are stolen from the bin. Many hours of 3D printing and the cost of the materials vanished in a few moments of amusement.
I hate these wheels on the road for more than one reason, but I love this and I'm probably going to steal this idea and make my own version (not the Houston death wheels, just some 3d printed wheel covers for my bin)
I like that someone has so little worry in their life that they had time to do this. Great for the, or maybe just stress relief cause their life is a mess and this gives them a little joy every time they see them.
Either way, good for them
My cans are duct taped together cause I refuse to pay the town for new ones.

It’s good that they use their budgets on this kind of stuff, definitely for the good of the community. 🫠
bacondesign@reddit
Tbh spending money on community outreach like this is way better than most of what they spend their time and money on so I can't be too mad at it.

I don't doubt you, but I'd honestly just feel sad for whatever person had the uncontrollable urge to steal plastic rims off a trash can.

Probably has an aftermarket alarm system set up:
“Protected by Viper, stand back!

Anyone stupid enough to steal these deserves what get, and sympathy ain't it. 😂🤣😂🤣

I would do this just to make fun of the chodes that put these on their trucks.

Those plastic solder guns actually work, especially when used with the metal mesh. Ugly as hell, but it's a trash can.
KeeganY_SR-UVB76@reddit
They’re really good. I repaired a windshield washer reservoir with one.

Even the trash bins are getting trashy car mods.
