Wrong End

I came upon this scene whilst walking to work this morning. It was happening in the driveway alongside the Sheraton. A skid steer was lifting up the front end of an older pickup essentially by its bumper. I stopped to watch and as it seemed like an odd event I decided to take a picture. The guy in the skid steer got concerned about the picture taking (can you spell damage) and yelled out to the heavyset guy "why's he
taking a picture?" I answered "no reason". Now since a conversation had started I felt okay asking the heavyset hotel security guy what they were doing and he said, "moving the truck because we have to get some buses through". I then inquired if it was in gear to which he said yes. I hung around for a few more moments and watched the skid steer try to push the truck (remember it was still in gear) to no avail. The bumper got twisted a little and the left front fender buckled slightly. At least the guy in the skid steer wasn't talking on his cell phone.
