Alabama Man Sold a Priceless Apollo-Era Lunar Rover Protoype For Scrap Metal (vice.com)
Jason Koebler writes: An Alabama man allowed an Apollo-era lunar rover prototype to rot in his backyard before ultimately selling it to a junkyard for scrap metal last year, according to documents acquired from NASA as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. NASA spent much of 2014 attempting to acquire the priceless artifact for display in a museum, but it was ultimately destroyed before the agency could recover it.

He probably has a grudge against NASA for proving that the Earth isn't flat.

America put a man on the moon, we just used your real estate so if anything went wrong, nothing important would be damaged.
Should read..."Alabama Man Removes Junk from His Yard". Of course, no one would believe it.
