Believe it or not: Thieves steal bridge

Via Survival

As the value of scrap metal — including copper and steel — increases, thieves have been becoming more daring and less respectful of institutions such as churches and schools.

But one group of thieves might have set the standard last week by stealing a 50-foot-long bridge. State police said the bridge was stolen between Sept. 27 and Wednesday in North Beaver Township. The theft was discovered shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday.

The bridge, around 20 feet wide, was in a wooded area along a railroad line in the township’s Covert’s Crossing region.
