I'm seeing two possibilities, either find a crane to lift it out, or take it apart and reassemble on the other side. Alternatively they can just leave it there as a monument to their stupidity. :lol:

lol yeah... i prefer the stupidity option.. but leave it as an active test of the public. LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND THE VAN UNLOCKED. see how many ppl try to steal it... then go like... WTH?

well, how sturdy are those posts compared to the van? would it be possible to back up over one and get out?

alternatively, does that building in front of the van have a glass wall or is it just me?

but truthfully I think the answer is - the same way they got in. I can't imagine the van having been there while all the other stuff was being put up. perhaps the smaller posts are removable.

no. they aren't. i know that type (unless ya want to remove them by diggin' them out or alternatively using a tank)

i'd like to know where the place is then i could go and see what's there now. unfortunatelly the quality is not good enough to read what says on the signs there.

okay, so the small posts are cement-fixed (or permanently grounded there in some similar fashion). what are they made of? would it be possible for the van to back up over one (given enough speed?).

but again, I say that it seems unlikely for the buildings and those posts to have gone up around the van (someone would have had it removed before then, I'm sure). so they must be able to get it out the same way it got in.

i am absolutely off my arse. But am still lucid enough to say..(and use big wordds) to say that most likely that the van is infact NOT to big to be stuck behind the bollards, ergo it can drive out normally. Otherwise, they would just turn round and say, OH crud...and basically take one of the bollards down and tyhen drive it out.


wow...my spelling in there is actually betrter then when im sober...lol

btw....corran i might mass you...(i'll give you the naq back later.)...why? Im not really sure....crap happens bro.

now i look at it...

if you number the poles clockwise, starting bottom right of pic... the van looks just thin enough to reverse thru poles 1 and 2. the vans probablt only small enough by half a foot. Maybe less... im tired... >.<
