Vandalism Newberry hill rd project Kitsap

[MADMAX]

Most kids and meth heads dont have keys, so why I'd lean towards a disgruntled ex-employee. 

Son in law who does dirt work says all machine keys are universal
$5 key caused all that damage
I hope they get caught

Not sure a kid would be able to figure out how to run that machine
A tweaker would of walked it down the road and used it break into the Chevron for beer and cigarettes.
This seems retaliatory.. Or someone is enjoying the road closure to much.
They need to pave the good half of the road and get traffic back on it..

Good point on the beer and cigs
Sounds about right

They would have grabbed the atm also...

Kind of, they are universal by manufacturer, but for example you cannot use a Cat key to start a John Deere or vice versa. The excavator is a Hitachi, which will actually use a John Deere key though you have to either steal a set of buy them from the dealership. My vote is still a pissed off ex-employee getting his revenge.

We had to drive up and look after supper
Most all the equipment is still tipped over just lying there
Nobody around
That we could see

Keys are super easy to come by.  Maybe just in my world. Anyone can jump in an excavator and knock stuff over. You guys are giving them too much credit. A tweaker is not going to waste there time vandalizing stuff.

thats why i was asking if it was that easy.

Just saw some video on the news. Looks to me like somebody had at least a little experience on a hoe. Thats a lot of vandalism and damage to get done in a short time over a large area without being caught.

You can get those keys on Amazon, any rental agency, dealership, or most anyone who’s ever worked around heavy equipment has a ring of them. You could probably find a key on most machines if you know where to look.  I’ve got a key ring on the dash of my truck that will start almost any machine in the country. When I had a bunch of machines parked all around Seattle I was constantly worried about that.

100%, these aren’t cars. Most forklifts can start with a pen cap.

I had an ignition so wore out on an excavator I could start it with my thumb nail.

Well, maybe around Christmas they’ll reopen this road and I sure hope somebody gets their ass caught

Wow. I lived near there for a few weeks under 21 years. It’s sure changed since I moved there in 1999
