Now that is interesting!

Is that some kinda wireguard or some mesh screening?

Looks like a home made chicken wire refractor cage.

I must say, it's a pretty good job! Some homemade wireguards are horrible..
tpirman1982   [Jul 13, 2011 at 10:33 PM]
Yeah, that was in a park in South Boston.

Still, it's not going to stop a bullet from going through the glass.
gailgrove   [Jul 14, 2011 at 05:53 PM]
I don't think it was ever meant to, it is to stop rocks.
streetlight98   [Jul 14, 2011 at 08:05 PM]
A rock could still get to it. It's just cheesy wires. A vandal sheild can actually make crooks more determined to break it. Shocked

nicely made wireguard....and of course its not going to stop a bullet! Shocked

Why the heck do people shoot streetlights? Seriously, my OV-25 (other one) has bullet holes in it (two of them) and it penetrated the reflector AND the housing!

I don't get why people do it.
Form109   [Jan 24, 2012 at 05:29 AM]
who know's what their reasoning is...probably the same people that shoot holes in road signs.

maybe it's because criminals like it dark?
streetlight98   [Jan 24, 2012 at 07:21 PM]
That or it's teenagers trying to make a "joke". It seems everything is a "joke". Rolling Eyes
GullWhiz   [Jan 24, 2012 at 07:57 PM]
There are drug dealers who sell drugs in the dark to prevent from getting caught....so that's one of the reasons they do this.

That was a waste of time to put a guard like that on this light.
Antstar85   [Jan 24, 2012 at 08:27 PM]
Thats Nothing, We Have These Installed on fixtures in downtown Holyoke.
streetlight98   [Jan 24, 2012 at 08:34 PM]
The way I see it, if someone wants to shoot out a street light, they will find a way to do so. Vandal sheilds only make them want to shoot it out more becuase that person is determined to prove that you can't stop him (or her).
Antstar85   [Jan 24, 2012 at 08:36 PM]
i have not seen one get shot out yet here in the city.
GullWhiz   [Jan 24, 2012 at 09:18 PM]
It does happen in Baltimore City and some other areas.
mercuryvaporrocks   [Jan 24, 2012 at 09:37 PM]
I haven't see any shot out in New Kensington or Arnold PA and those are really bad areas.
joe_347V   [Jan 24, 2012 at 09:44 PM]
I've haven't any shot out lights in the Toronto area, even in the sketchier neighbourhoods.
