Deputies charged five Granville County (NC) teenagers with stealing landing lights from the runway at the Vance-Granville Airport.
Investigators said they stole more than 15 lights and, in some cases, threw them at cars in Oxford.

Sheriff David Smith said local high schools helped in the investigation.
While no one was hurt, the missing lights could have caused serious problems for pilots landing at the airport.

Give em community service; hand em a broom on a nice Saturday so lots of people can watch, then tell em the runway's dirty and they gotta get at it!

better is to get 'em to sweep the highway.... in addition to having a nicely swept highway, it sharpings those kids reflexes as they sweep

you guys got it all wrong...

Leave the lights out. Give them one hour of flight instruction and after the hour is up point towards the direction of the airport, wish them luck, strap on your parachute and jump.

I garauntee they won't reoffend!

Sweep left, sweep right.
