personally, i think as soon as any woman file a injunction against a abusive husband or boy friend, the police should take them to a firing range for a few lessons.

^ At least wait after the trial. How do they say, innocent until proven guilty ?

Well, this is not exactly uncommon you know. I heared of several such incidents, and the thiefs cannot always be caught.

There was this instance in Germany where vital steel rods (static reinforcement) was stolen from a subway construction site and sold as scrap metal.

or tracks...

Or that Czech railway bridge that was sold as scrap metal...

Oh and it also earned them a 3rd place Darwin award...

Or british railway cable...

Some would want some relaxed laws about sale of firearm. Going that low would be way too much

It happens a lot in Germany today, and it has increased greatly with the fall of the iron curtain, opening of the borders to eastern Europe and of course increasing metal prices.

It happens a lot in Portugal too. Manhole cover, sewer cover, electricity copper wires, etc. Last one I hear in the TV was stealing all type of metal from a graveyard. Whatever metal was there they clean the place up.

Vexx · 2011-10-17, 21:02

meth addiction + metal shortages in spot markets = stealing anything metal. Even sacred shrine metals have been looted. The manhole covers in Japan... the guardrails in Oregon... etc etc. Maybe if they gave each of us a free swing at them with a metal shovel

Against some money? Who know, maybe some would say yes.

Ithekro · 2011-10-17, 22:00

They'd grab it mid-swing and steal the head of the shovel.

Not as bad..... a few months ago someone was caught stealing copper earth links from a local power plant.

Imagine the generator hits a surge. Then POP goes the weasel.

The ''POP''ing wouldn't probably the biggest problem; the earth link isn't instaled to look fancy, it's to prevent damage to the equipement.
The weasel would go POP, and equipement might get damaged, reducing or even stoping power production.

Heh, you'd miss a manhole cover gone if you were walking at night

Here's a partial list of things that happened in 1876:
It was, of course, the nation's 100th birthday. George Armstrong Custer met his fate at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Alexander Graham Bell made the first phone call. A giant squid, 18 feet long, washed up on a beach in Newfoundland.
And James Boyle's great-great-grandmother grew a very special cucumber in her Illinois garden. She put the sprouting vine in an old medicine bottle, so the cucumber grew inside it.
"She pickled it, and corked it, and it has been in the family ever since," Boyle tells Robert Smith, guest host of weekends on All Things Considered.
You read that right — the Boyle family, now of North Port, Fla., has been passing down this historical pickle ever since 1876.

I'd like to avoid the beaten-to-death joke, but there were indeed bears in with those lions and Bengal tigers. As well as wolves and at least one monkey, which may have herpes. (I didn't realize it until now, but my life feels slightly more complete now that I've used the words "monkey" and "herpes" in the same sentence.)

On a much less funny note, most of those animals had to be put down, since the wildlife control authorities thought that if they just shot tranquilizer darts they'd escape, fall unconscious, and later wake up. The jackass owner (who was apparently under investigation for negligence of his menagerie) put himself down just before the escape was reported.

Apparently Ohio has some of the loosest "exotic animal" laws in the US, so one wonders if this fall we might see some real Bengal (tigers) outside a Bengals football game, or "bruins" outside a Browns game. Plus Detroit isn't far from the Ohio state line; they might get a visit from some actual Lions.
