A May 31, 2009 handout photo released by Joseph Carnevale shows a sculpture made of traffic barrels by Carnevale in Raleigh, N.C.. Carnevale says he didn't have a grandiose point to make when he chopped up orange-and-white traffic barrels and turned them into a massive statue of a hitchhiking roadside monster. But the North Carolina college student has become a celebrity artist of sorts since city police charged him with possession of stolen goods. And now, the construction company whose barrels he took wants to keep the statue.

    This is funny. I thought it was holding a gun! Not hitch-hiking. I would suspect the police did not have a sense of humor over this. But, actually he was performing a community service. I bet everyone slowed down the next day when they saw it.
