Let's all raise our coffee mugs and 6 a.m. energy drinks to our new hero of the week.

Okay.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

And today's hero emerged when police in Atlanta got an emergency call the other day from a waste management company.

Oh, gosh.

One of their ex-employees showed up randomly and took one of their front loaders for a spin. Oh, no. Just so you know, a front loader is one of those big construction vehicles with a big steel bucket on the front to scoop stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a backhoe, but in the front. So anyway, the ex-employee decided he deserved to take that for a joy ride. Oh, man.

I mean, we've all wanted to.

He was still driving around the waste management parking lot when cops got there.

Oh, he didn't get very far.

And then he took off and started heading down a public road.

At what?

Like five miles an hour?

Like those things can't go that fast.

Very, very slow chase.

There was multiple cops behind him, but the construction vehicle weighs over 75,000 pounds.

So not a whole lot the police cruisers can do to stop that thing.

I mean, I would imagine that it's going to run out of gas pretty soon.

Well, a quick thinking cop had a better idea.

Oh, really?

He went back to the waste management site where a current employee volunteered to hop into a second front loader and chase the first one down.

How is this a good idea?

More front loaders is I don't think the answer.
