Thanks Carl, that is a strange thing, stealing an entire bridge.

Mils, when I was living in Houston people were stealing the guard rails right off the highways and streets for scrap metal. They even caught some guys who had taken down a traffic light pole and were stripping the copper wire to sell.

How the hell did they get it out of there? I doubt if any vehicles could get to where that bridge was.

Well, it's not like anyone's going to miss it. I wonder how long it had been missing before someone finally realized it was gone.

I just got the image of some shady guy in a trench coat in some back alley...

"Psst...hey buddy? Wanna buy a bridge?"

^Probably so Milagros, although it will be a hard thing to fence. ^

^I know a lady that works in a Recycling Center and she is visited on a weekly basis by the State Police looking for stolen property.^
