High school prank = car on top of roof?

A janitor arrived at the Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School early yesterday morning and found a pink car sitting on top of the school's one-story roof, police said.

School officials and Nassau County police were trying to figure out how pranksters were able to get it up there.

The shell of a car was painted hot pink and covered with bright green question marks. Police and a towing company removed the vehicle, which had no engine and no tires.

Because there were no tires, the wheel rotors did some minor damage to the roof, police said. Second Squad detectives are investigating to try to find out who is responsible. Article here.

*UPDATE* How did a bright pink car end up on the roof? "It was completely gutted out to make it as light as possible for their prank," said Det. Lt. John May of Nassau's Second Squad. "It was very well planned and executed."

May also said the pranksters removed the car's vehicle identification number so police couldn't trace the car back to its owner.

First, the students placed the ramps on an about 15-foot section of the roof and climbed up. Students below pushed the car up the ramp from behind while the others on the roof pulled. How the car ended up on campus in the first place is still a mystery, but a towing company removed it about 10 a.m. Monday.
