Thieves steal 12 tons of train track
This just baffles me. How does a group of homeless people manage to...
...steal 12 tons of train track...
...that was salvaged from the rails of a subway line...
...in the largest city in the Czech Republic...
...and somehow get away with their haul without anyone noticing? Mind-boggling.
And here's the punchline: after all the heavy lifting and the risk of getting caught by the cops -- it is 12 tons of metal we're talking about -- the crack homeless crew probably sold their stash of steel for the outrageous sum of about 2500 bucks. I think it's safe to say that the "brains" of the operation took a shiv in the gut after taking the payout from Pavel's Scrap Yard.
I mean -- homeless people: kings of unintentional comedy! Am I right?
