Reply to comment by Jthundercleese in Portland man laughed ‘maniacally’ while chasing pedestrian in stolen $80k forklift, police say by Jorgyjorg32
When I was a kid I used to mess around in the woods and came across a logging site. The keys were in the bulldozer so I started it and took it for a joy ride. I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so I left it running. Later I learned that diesel engines of that era had a mechanical lever that pushed on the injection pump to shut them down.

No idea, nobody caught me. It was the 80’s, they either would run you off or give you a job if you were a kid hanging around a site. I had a job at 14 years old doing tractor work on an estate because I got caught joyriding a Kubota tractor
