   I bet people do it all the time.  Just pick a good time when nobody is   
   around, keep an eye on it, and get some juice back.

   I got one of those plastic containers, like the old milk box crates   
      
   and it's like double wide.  I'd attach it to the front frame area with   
   cable ties and then cable tie some wire to the plug-in and your charger.   
     Then just wire the thing so it stays in the crate and away you go.   
      
   They run pretty good.  My flaggers used to wheel them down the road on   
   hand carts with a pole attached and the lights up in the air to keep   
   them visible.  In my state it was no longer acceptable to have them   
   standing out there, even with the reflective clothing on, unless they   
   were lit up.  Bosses didn't know how we were gonna deal with that new   
   rule, and this was the option I came up with.  I'd just swing by every   
   few hours and make sure they didn't need fuel.  I'd stop by the good   
   looking ones more often.  ;-)
