Man builds an entire car out of snow, police leave 'fine'

A Canadian artist decided to make light of a cold situation in the country when he played a trick on snow removers and received the attention of police.

Simon Laprise, 33, created a full size DeLorean model made out of snow.

He built it parallel to a Montreal footpath to make it look like a real car was caked in snow and even finished it off with a real windshield wiper.

While he was attempting to play a joke on snow removers, law enforcement instead found the prank.

Police officers approached the snow auto-mobile, probably with the intention of writing a ticket.

But after investigation the officer found he had been duped by Laprise's design.

The police office did write a ticket but not the one you would think of. "You made our night!! Hahahah," the ticket said.

Laprise was nearby and captured the whole thing in a series of photos.

When the snow removers arrived the next morning, they didn't seem fooled by Laprise’s DeLorean snow sculpture, as it was completely destroyed as they cleared the street.

The DeLorean was made famous by the Back to The Future films.
