Gang of thieves dismantled and stole a 550-ton iron bridge in broad daylight


A gang of thieves stole a 60-foot long, 550-ton bridge in northeastern India for its lucrative scrap value

The article goes on to say the gang dressed in government duds. People are so used to being ripped off by government they don't question the costume anymore.

But scrap is only going $200 a ton making this haul worth only $110 k. It's not like the crown jewels were taken. Making one think theeves in India are having a hard time finding anything of value. A country of Slumlord millionaires.

The bridge had been abandoned for years. The theeves saved the government the cost of removing it.

I think the U.S. should be recruiting these guys. Imagine having your old bridges pulled down for free rather than spending millions?
