Apparently we aren’t the only ones in the world upset with horrible cellular coverage. A man in Sydney Australia got his hands on an Armored Personel Carrier (APC) and went on a rampage, taking out 6 cell phone towers, and was apprehended on his way to a seventh.

“He continued to destroy mobile tower communications sheds by crashing through the perimeter fence and colliding with structures, causing significant damage.” said Suburban Mt Druitt police Chief Inspector Guy Haberley.
Our hero was charged with malicious damage, breaking and entering, predatory driving and driving in a dangerous manner.

I’m pretty sure each and every one of us have wanted to do this. I know I have, more than once. I get horrible reception at my house, and according to AT&T’s coverage map, It’s supposed to be one of the strongest areas in the city.

Seriously though, I wonder how the cops apprehended him? I don’t think there’s a single soul that hasn’t felt the pain of having a dropped call. Even if you don’t own a wireless phone, I’m most people have talked to others who do have them, and know what it’s like when they keep cutting out.

I need to get me a tank. Anyone up for a joyride?
