  San Francisco MUNI has been installing loud speakers to broadcast when the buses are expected or how late they are (which is always) at various busy bus stops (including residential areas) for a month now and I was about to pay off some graf kid to dismantle the damn thing (the decibel level is deafening especially at night) but you're inspiring me to be more creative with a worthwhile prank or two....
