And in weird news....bridge theft

 Don't you hate it when that happens?

Bane of my existence LMAO. 

Wow.  Why would you advertise that your crew were bloody idiots and allowed some thief-in-the-night to steal a bridge?  I personally would want to keep something like that private, hehe.  What do you do with a bridge anyway?  And how do you steal one?  I think I'm in the wrong business; that kinda sounds like fun!

Where exactly does one hide a bridge?  And how did nobody notice this theft while it was in progress?

Can you hear it?  "Honey, I got you a present."  Reply:  "Where the %#*@# are we gonna put that thing?"

Good grief, that was  a much-needed laugh!

Well, I used a really big truck that I borrowed from my Uncle Traveling Matt, and the crane that's been sitting in my back yard for three years.  I plan on making use of it to get to the private island Pom and I are going to to let our dogs run around free. 

I am still snickering over the photo caption:  "A bridge, just the sort of thing likely to be targeted by bridge thieves."  LOL.

I have no idea how one goes about stealing a bridge....but it sounds like a fun caper to plot!

 Oh maaaan, I thought I had hidden that bridge with my REALLY, REALLY big tarp! ROFLLLLMAO

 Perhaps THAT was what was hiding under the tarp on the giant "WIDE LOAD" truck I saw!  I'm a witness!!!

Seriously though...who steals a bridge? What are they going to do, Ebay it???

Guys, guys, the better question is: Who buys a used bridge?

 (I mean, aside from Dahlonega, GA. But that's another story.)
 

When I was a kid, we stole stupid crap all the time.  Stop Signs, Crossing Guard Booths, and a Tackling Dummy from the HS football field.  Gee... I thought that was extreme.  This really must have taken some planning. 

Can you just imagine those guys that noticed it first?  Driving out to do some routine check of the bridge...

''So, ya, my wife's finally decided I can get that LCD TV I've been wanting.''

''Really?  How'd you manage to talk her into that?''

''Well I just pointed out how well the companies doing since we got this bridge contract and she just couldn't argue.''

''Hmm...maybe I should use that argument, its a good thing this thing needs so much maintenence.''

''Umm.... WTF!!!!''  ''Holy Crap!  The Bridge is gone!'' 

That is the weirdest thing I have ever read lol. How the heck do you steal a bridge!? On top of that the caption on the picture was way too funny lol.

I think AZ has a used bridge - they have the original London Bridge at Lake Havasau.  They didn't steal it though.  They had it carefully disassembled, brought it over and rebuilt it brick by brick - identical to the way it was before.

What I find so strange is that it's happened before.  Eveidently several times over.

"Of course, it's not the first time some light-fingered bridge enthusiast has made off with a bridge. At least two bridges have been nicked in Russia in the past six months, and a pair of bridge thieves appropriated two Macedonian bridges last February."
