Paul Bunyan On Bristol Crime Spree

This, in Bristol, printed in the Bucks County Courier Times crime log, really didn’t get the play it deserved in today’s paper:

Theft: Garden St., time unknown, Tue, basketball court, no value given.

Could you imagine if somebody just went and walked off with the Wachovia Center? Well, we’d probably thank them, so I guess that’s a bad example. But, damn, what an execution to pull of a heist like that. I think I have an idea for Ocean’s 14.

    Classic Daily News front page headline from the early ’80s:

    “2 Arrested In Theft Of A Street”

    Yes, a street. A little street, somewhere in South Philly near the river if I recall. One that was paved with cobblestones until the perps showed up with shovels.
