If you believe this story, I have a bridge to sell you.

[Ezekiel]

A gang of thieves stole a 60-foot long, 550-ton bridge in northeastern India for its lucrative scrap value

"Sixty feet of bridge I can pick up almost anywhere."

Sounds like a 3rd World Country.

Soon it’ll happen in the USA.

Much easier than stealing a bridge after dark.

Gotta give ‘em credit for having the balls to do it!

[digger48]

We occasionally have broken castings from agricultural projects

The scrapyards won’t even take them

[SaveFerris]

I have a bridge 🌉 to sell you......

[SaveFerris]

Dang too slow

[SaveFerris]

Gotta have an AMC Matador IIRC

[OldWarBaby]

So what happened to the JCB? That’s a back hoe or maybe a crawler crane?

[algore]

Close.

I watch a guy on youtube “Camping with Steve”. He has regular simple camping videos, but the enjoyable ones are his “Stealth Camping” ones. The last one he did was in the center of a round-a-bout in some big city in Canada.

He had his safety vest and big orange bag like he was picking up litter. Then when traffic was absent he ducked into the small bushes of the round-a-bout and spent the night.

Another one he had his neighbor’s borrowed truck with emergency lights flashing. Set up right in the middle of a park. Put up scaffolding with tarps (his “tent”), a bunch of cones, etc. Even had his phone playing construction noises from inside of his tent! It was hilarious.

Some real city construction workers drove by and waved.

I couldn’t believe I was the first!

[TigersEye]

I knew this wasn’t in the U.S. from the title.
No teens or yutes involved.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Police have arrested eight men, including two government employees, a police official said, per ANI.

The government employees were the ones pretending to be supervisors.

[Macho MAGA Man]

I watched it last week. That was crazy. That guy knows what he’s doing.

[SaveFerris]

Good job!!!!

[Tacrolimus1mg]

I’m gonna watch that. Sounds interesting, and no doubt amusing.

Well, I guess the next time someone says, they have a bridge they want to sell me, I'll take it more serious..

That did not take long at all.
