And they even stole a bridge? Talk about taking anything that's not tied down!

Post subject:  How about a street?

Happened in Philadelphia years ago. It was one of the old cobblestone streets. Someone came by, set up barricades and took all the cobblestones. No one questioned that it was for some legitimate reason. It wasn't until so the story goes someone called city hall and asked when the street was going to be fixed that it was found to be a theft.

It's simple: Wear a white Hardhat, carry a clipboard, and appear to be in charge.

that hasn't happened here. Back in the early fifties, Author LaSalle purchased an old Morgans Louisiana and Texas (SP predicessor) 4-4-0 of 1880 vintage from a sugar mill at Meeker, LA. After he had it restored, while he was away, for two weeks, it was gone. All that remained of a beautiful Baldwin straight boilered, three domed beauty was slag piles. I think maybe he found the bell later.

Hmmm. I wonder if I can restore a railroad in the same way?

Some brush cutters and a speeder, and I'll have the ex-Reading Bethlehem Branch open in a few months..... :-)
