Stolen 5,000-Pound Bridge Recovered in Michigan
2014-12-06
"Psssst! Buddy! Wanna buy a bridge?"
[AnNahar] A Michigan man says his family's 5,000-pound footbridge has been recovered after being stolen from his property in suburban bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
Robert Cortis filed a police report Wednesday saying that a 40-foot bridge made of steel and wood was stolen from his property in Farmington Hills.

Cortis says he discovered the bridge was missing when he stopped by his property near 8 Mile Road with plans to move the bridge this week. He planned to set it up at his catering business for taking wedding photos.

Cortis says the bridge has sentimental value because his father built it decades ago.

The Detroit News says police on Thursday found the bridge undamaged in Belleville, about 20 miles south of where it disappeared. There's no word of suspects.
I'm willing to bet that it'll be someone who's recently been to Belleville...

#6  What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?

Mechanical engineers build weapons. Civil Engineers build targets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."

The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."

#3  I like Bailey bridges, but I keep my urges to myself and under control, so far.

#2  It's too early to read rantburg. I first saw the title as "Stolen 5000 Pound Bride Recovered in Michigan" something altogether different.

#1  Frankly speaking, or can I be Frank here? I can understand wanting a fine bridge. I have my eye on several.
