| | | Dumbest Thing You've Done Leaving? < on 10/21/2019 9:34 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | Well, I guess I'll go first, since I'm the one asking. Yesterday, my best exploring buddy, myself, and another friend who thought it sounded cool went to see an old school in Mississippi. We usually day explore, but we went at night because of timing. That was probably the first mistake. I swear I shall never ever explore at night again. Everything was going smoothly, other than no good lighting, and then we left. And then I set off the car alarm in front of the fucking place and like a million houses in the suburban neighborhood, we all screamed and ran for the car, I floored it with no headlights and while trying to turn the lights on I missed a stop sign and nose dived into a steep ass ditch going like 50. Thank God for jeeps and steel bumpers because we dug like a five foot hole in the earth and had to call a tow truck and somehow the only thing that broke was the windshield. Oh and also my friends face because she didn't have a seat belt and went straight into the roll cage. So since I just shared my very, extremely, monumentally stupid, somewhat near death experience, anyone else have any times where literally everything was going great until you left?

| | | Posted by EsseXploreR Yeah..... been there. We were going to leave an abandoned school but the drop was a little too high out the window we came through. I had my extendable ladder, but we were using it to get up to the window from inside. We decided to fumble through the basement for another way out. We walked right into a motion sensor which alerted the police officer who was already sitting in the school parking lot. The next 10 hours were spent playing cat and mouse with the police and their dog inside the massive abandoned school. They even found my car and pinged my cell phone, which was thankfully on ultimate power saver which inhibits location services. The only other way out we found was a 20 foot high rear window above where the police were doing foot patrols hours earlier. My extendable ladder was only 14 feet tall and too flexible to support us. I wound up going back through the school alone to retrieve a taller wooden ladder from the auditorium. I stuffed it out the window as the police continued to circle. I trew my extendable ladder down and dangled myself out the window until my feet touched the wooden ladder, which thankfully held my weight. After we all got down we exited the alley just as a police van cruised past. My friends were far enough ahead of me that they were able to warn me in time to ditch the ladder. They didnt say anything to us though.
Im sure there are more, but thats the first one that comes to mind.
| I remember you telling me all about that in vivid detail when it happened... I can't think of anything I've done that's extremely dumb when exiting somewhere other than falling on my behind a few times or getting stuck climbing out of a window. The only sort of 'clusterfuck' which I can recall, which is more embarrassing than anything happened a few years ago at an abandoned football stadium (a small town local one, not one of the mega millions type ones before you ask!) The way in we used involved climbing up a tree which had a branch jutting out over the fence which went pretty well but when inside the grounds we saw a likely looking gate off to one side which *should* have been an easier way to get out - right next to an open bowling alley. After finishing and packing up we went to the gate and sure enough, it was tall but relatively easy to climb. One of us went up and over and I followed them, however when I peeked over the top I was surprised to see a worker from next door standing there, cigarette in his mouth, staring at us. By this point I was sat on top of the gate and for some reason unbeknown to myself to this day, I completely froze up. I simply could not move, and there I was perched on top of this gate for everyone to see. The guy standing there then very kindly went to get a ladder from inside his building, and just as he was coming out and putting it on the gate, a police car drove down the side road we were on. It turned out though we had nothing to worry about as they were more concerned whether we'd seen a missing child, although you could see them shake their heads in disbelief at the clusterfuck they'd stumbled upon.

| | | Not going back to Beth Steel for another shoot. Beat the odds 3 or 4 times, figured the odds would reach out and grab me eventually. Security there was real, and creative. At times they lurk in the blast furnaces. Because of the size and limited number of guards, they couldn't be everywhere at once. Generally they guarded the perimeter and long open areas from a vantage point. Spotting them first was essential as was a predawn entry. Fun times. Got a heads up from others here at UER that helped me greatly to spot and evade security my first time in Another roll of the dice been nice... if you don't play, you can't win.

Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's methamphetamine.

Ah yes, I love it when my friends make great decisions like that, but it does raise an interesting point. Can they really do anything once you’ve left as long as there’s no proof graffiti or spray paint or stolen things? Where does it stop being a crime they can catch you for? Like it’s pretty obvious what we were doing after the accident bc it was literally 900 ft directly in front of our entrance, but they can’t really prove that’s how and why we were there I don’t think. Thanks for the reply, it really gave me food for thought!
| Totally. I mean, everything needs proof. If they want to charge you with theft, they need an object you stole. If they want to charge you with vandalism, they need to find something you destroyed. I feel like trespassing is a little more difficult; places with cameras make the charge easy, but what happens when they don't actually catch you in there? I feel like that would end up as a court battle or something in most cases. Aside from that, I'm 90% sure that all the proof they need if they catch you on the property, is that they caught you on the property. Police, that is. Citizens probably need photo evidence and stuff.
