I don’t think we’ve ever had a municipal service division make it into the Worst Company In America tournament, but New York City’s Sanitation Department seems to be gunning for a wild card slot this year. First, they tried to fine someone thousands of dollars for picking up a discarded air-conditioner from the curb, then there was the to-do over the woman ticketed $100 for throwing out a small bag of garbage in a public trash can. Now, as millions of New Yorkers attempt to dig out from one of the biggest blizzards to ever hit the city, the Sanitation folks have been caught on camera destroying a snowbound car.

According to the man who shot the video: “I went down, I know the owner, they are aware of the video and no police ever came.”
