The people are truly creative in Pennsyltucky.

Thieves dismantle, cart off steel bridge in Pennsylvania – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs

Want to bet they were meth heads or drugs were involved somehow.

At the very least Welfare bums with too much time on their hands.

That's about 100 miles from where I grew up.

Somehow or other I've heard that name before... at least it seems that way.

Funny how much work some people will do to avoid getting a job.

Interesting story however.

Um yeah I will go out on a limb and say it was probably meth heads. I love the non city parts of PA AKA Pennsyltucky.

I only left because of poor work opportunities in my field... and the large number of welfare bums in my county.

PA isn't really a tech place. Hence why I work in Princeton.

Bet they took it to help repair that bridge between Ohio and Kentucky that the President is so concerned about .

What scrap yard in their right mind would accept material from a bridge? Just unreal.

True... the Scrapyards stopped taking railroad tie plates and spikes decades ago because they were being stolen and sold for scrap... (they were laying around all over the railroad right of way). Yeah I knew people that were doing it back then. No it wasn't me.

I'd be curious how they explained where it came from, unless the yard they went to was in on it with them.

Scrap yards in my neck of the woods are busy taking in wrought iron fencing stolen from a local graveyard. Now all the dead people can get out and the non dead peope can get in. The thieves have also stolen the metal grates over the public spring head twice now. Hopefully the county will install concrete grates instead.

My late father often used the word Pennsyltucky a lot. Brings back memories of being a kid. Also the Sycaphose Indians would come and steal me.
