These contractors are installing the steel pillars in concrete to stop vehicles from parking...
...on the pavement outside a Sports Bar downtown. They are now in the process of cleaning up at the end of the day and anxious to go home. How long do you think it will be before they realize where *their* vehicle is parked?

3. If you measure the space between the poles and the width of the truck,...
..you'll see that the truck can go between the poles.

5. They probably figure that nobody's going to drive that close....
...between 2 poles.
I mean ...if the work truck driver happened to scrape the truck it wouldn't be that big a deal but folks who drive
a 20-30 thousand dollar automobile are not prone to "Squeeze" between objects. :)
