Dateline, Philadelphia.
I think I’m starting a Philly file. You'd think the No Sweat News Philly file would have officially started already. They threw the snowballs at Santa at the Eagles game. They had to grease the telephone poles so people wouldn't be able to climb them when they won a sports championship.
Then there was that cute hitch-hiking robot. That damn robot made it's way all the way across Canada. Being picked up and dropped off by good Canadian citizens doing their polite Canadian selves. But once the robot began it's journey across America someone dropped it off in Philadelphia where it was destroyed... pulled limb from limb; picked over for any valuable parts with the rest left strewn across the side of the highway. Poor hitchbot.
With all that in our rearview mirror, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised by this headline:
"Philadelphia police searching for suspect who stole antique brass railing from City Hall."
Yep. Turns out that someone stole the brass railing off city hall. You know, the same city hall that has authority over Independence Hall where THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE was signed by our nation's Founding Fathers?
The belief is that the guy will try to sell the brass railings at a scrap metal place.
Now, maybe selling the place off for scrap is the best use for a government building… But, you’re not supposed to do that.
Not shockingly, the area is basically surrounded by security cameras and cops have released really clear footage of a guy pushing a red grocery cart with all the cut up pieces of the antique brass railing he had just cut off City Hall.
