50 foot long bridge stolen

CoolHat

Washington Post:

NEW CASTLE, Pa. — A 50-foot-long bridge in western Pennsylvania has been stolen, and its owners say they’re baffled by the crime and have no idea who took it.

New Castle Development spokesman Gary Bruce said Friday that he “couldn’t believe it when they told me it was gone.”

A state police report says the 20-foot-wide span in North Beaver Township went missing between Sept. 27 and Wednesday.

The bridge was made out of corrugated steel and valued at about $100,000. Thieves used a blowtorch to cut it apart, presumably to sell it for scrap metal.

The bridge was used occasionally as a back entrance to the company property. It’s in the woods along a railroad line about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Bruce says he doubts the company can replace the bridge.

That expression "they'd rob anything!" yeah. comes into play here :pac:

A Guinness rep told me that 10,000 empty kegs have gone missing in the last 3 months, apparently they have good scrap value.

I wonder will it turn up?

I can't bear the suspension.

Suppose they'll have to build one now to get over it.

* You've gone a bridge too far, too late!

* I suppose the British people will rally around and lend them their supports!

* Newcastle has now hired two bus conductors to stand at either side.
Why?
To keep shouting "Mind the gap please!"

* These jokes are getting worse - I'm now getting in deep.
I need help like they need a bridge over troubled waters!

Imagine waking up the next morning with the worst hangover and no idea what happened the night before to find a 50ft bridge next to your bed.

Lets not burn bridges people, they might have had a reason for stealing it.

Used to do that with the amber light things, the bridge would be a bit awkward though!

One of the reasons miller have wrapped their kegs in thick rubber, to much effort to get the metal out, shame no-one drinks miller anymore

They might get it back after a game of pontoon.

I just read that they caught the guys that did it.
Apparently they had a dispute with a local land owner who took exception.
The police dropped the charges as they have settled their differences and its all water under the bridge now.

I think I need to lie down..

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
I'll get my coat
