A friend spotted this in Hackney this morning. Just putting folks on notice that if I encounter one of these, I will take preemptive countermeasures, believe it.
@adamgreenfield I assume this is a lost object, no different than if someone left their keys laying somewhere. It should be taken and placed in a lost and found box.
What made this even creepier (given its obvious video-capture capability, the propensity for children to be attracted to it, etc.) was that it was being operated by a middle-aged dude between two schoolyards. I dislike stranger-danger hysteria as much as anyone sane, but sometimes the red flags wave harder than the Brezhnev-era Kremlin on May Day.
