Just appeared on a speed limit sign outside my house:

(apologies for the awful quality iPhone picture)

It's a black plastic box and it's padlocked shut. I interrogated it for quite some time but I'm still no closer to working out what it is for.
 
I dont know, but no good will come of it, set it on fire.
 
See i knew it, that needs burning.

I agree and therefore give you permission, if you get arrested for this act of kindness please print out the coupon below, hand it to the arresting officer, you will be fine.

So, say turning it round to point at the bushes would be beneficial? ;)

as far as I know the radar is a 360 degree device, which is why you can set speed cameras off travelling towards as well as away from them

I have utterly no idea if the black box is actually a radar, I'm hungover and thought I'd feign intelligence! :D

although after reading my post I do now waft of knowledge (and alcohol too apparently)
 
Wrap it in tin foil ;)

Surprised if it really is for speed camera testing though - they seem to be a dying breed these days as they aren't aren't very cost effective for local authorities any more.
 
I still say it should be set on fire, just to be on the safe side.
 
What you need, is either some bolt cutters or a battery powered dremel and some darkness.

Does it not have any writing on it? Serial numbers? Manufacturer?
 
3 step guide:

  • Open and check for treasure
  • Wrap in tin foil
  • Spin it around

If those fail to yield results/answers/amsuing photos then do as Diamondmark said. BURN IT!
