Barrel monster doesn't last, but his memory will go on forev--oh, whatever.

In Raleigh, NC, a college student got himself into trouble for stealing orange road construction barrels and fashioning them into a hitch-hiking barrel monster.

Props to Joseph Carnevale for his creativity. Bucks to his lawyer to keep him out of the slammer for larceny and destruction of property. It seems local governments frown on having their things stolen and cut up, no matter how amusing the results. Authorities dismantled the creature shortly after they were alerted to it.

This is not Carnevale's first theft, it seems. An Associated Press video report shows a construction barrel alligator he made before the hitchhiker.

His case goes to court in July, but groups have popped up on Facebook and elsewhere to demonstrate support.
