042606newsstand.jpg In what is most certainly be the best crime ever so far this year, on Sunday a man stole six newsstands.

The man, Ofatai King, hired a crane to take six newstands that weren’t his and move them to locations where he had applied for newsstand permits but hadn’t gotten approval.

And it’s not just that: In addition to just stealing newsstands from hard-working people, he didn’t even move them in any way that made sense: A stand from Cottman and Bustleton was moved to 52nd and Chestnut, while a stand from 13th and Market went to Bridge and Pratt.

He actually had hired the crane company to do it to additional newsstands on Monday night, but it was stopped before more stands were moved.

You don’t even need to write any jokes about this. It’s just too confusing. And already funny enough.

Extra! Extra! Stands stolen! [Daily News]

    Did you hear about that woman in Doylestown that stole a house?

    Maybe he thought that if he didn’t move the newsstands very far their owners would find them easily.
