Would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling trans-Karen

[Dr. Sivana]

The thieves may have done the government a favor. The bridge wasn’t in use, and the labor to dismantle it has already been provided.

In Russia they steal the manhole covers ,LOL

Gang of thieves dismantled and stole a 550-ton iron bridge in broad daylight

Coming soon to Blue American Cesspool cities.

AND...”some villagers were happy that the disused bridge was finally being removed.”

Seems like a win-win all the way around, doesn’t it?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Heh, heh...yeah! “Kumar reached out to local officials to ask why procedures were not being followed concerning the removal of the bridge”

How did Kumar know procedures were not being followed?

[Beowulf9]

Kumar know too much.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

At least it is more resourceful than smash-and-grab Rodeo Drive flash mobs.

[beethovenfan]

Now THAT’s motivation!

[BiteYourSelf]

Sounds like someone didn’t pay all the required bribes.🤔

Wish someone would steal califonicate.

This would make a good idea if someone went in and started removing the White House. These days stranger things happen

Go big or go home...

There is so much you can get away with if you have a hardhat, a clipboard, and a safety vest. No one asks any questions.

Found it first -

“Okay Ramesh, it says to take a sharp right at the bridge up ahead”.

[PghBaldy]

People have stolen part of at least one street in America, while back. Cobblestone I think?

Wish someone would steal califonicate.

Someone has, the primary suspect is Chinese, but he is claiming he bought it, fair and square, and was rooked because it has been allowed to fall into a criminal state of disrepair.

[Robert DeLong]

I have always heard that the most outrageous thefts are done in the open, because no one believes thieves are that bold. Oh, how the times have changed, I guess.

[Rebelbase]

Reminds me of the Chechen thieves who ripped up 15 miles of railroad rails and sold for scrap back in the early 90’s.

Time flies... it was 1985 https://www.nytimes.com/1985/01/12/nyregion/thieves-roam-and-steal-the-city-s-streets.html
