nbc- At least 60 people in Henrico woke up to an odd surprise on their front lawns: old-school television sets.
“It was a guy dressed in a jumpsuit with a TV for a head. It’s the weirdest thing. He squats down, puts the TV there and walks off. It’s really weird,” said Adrian Garner, reviewing the home security footage which caught one of the masked suspects.
“My first reaction was, ‘Did we order this?’ Not in an Amazon box, it was just kind of strange,” Garner added.
And his house wasn’t the only house hit.
On Sunday morning, Henrico County police circled Bosworth Drive, picking up the old television sets from residents.
“We have a team of officers out here working together, collecting the TVs. We’re upwards of 60 TVs so far,” said Lt. Matt Pecka of Henrico Police Division.
Pecka says the culprits could face charges of littering on private property or illegal dumping, but some residents recognize the absurdity in the situation.

Guerilla marketing campaign?
Old TVs – – even thrift stores won’t take them. Next it will be old computers.
Wasnt me.
Coo coo, coo coo. Must be Trump supporters!
Leave them by the curb thinking a scrapper would take them and all they do is snip the cord and leave the TV.
I’ve got a 27″ 200lb set sitting in my bedroom on the floor behind a dresser. It’s been there for about 15 years and it’ll probably still be there after we move. It ain’t worth moving even to just clean up the room. I paid about 900 bucks for it, what a friggin waste.
“…And so began the legend of the Fake News Fairy.”
They should have changed the channel, if you know what I mean.
Maybe it’s Outer Limits…Finally releasing control of Our TV’s

“…with a TV for a head.”
That looks more like an old CRT computer monitor to me.
A modern twist on the old time used to be prank of placing a paper bag full of Jerry Nadler on the porch. Lighting it on fire, and ringing the door bell before running away.
So, that’s what happened to Swen Computer.
Illegal dumping?
That’s what happened when I caught the Bernie bro 3 houses down from me squatting on my lawn.
