$1000 Bounty
This is really dangerous! I'd put out a bounty: "$1000 reward for information leading to the arrest of..."
Increase it by $100 increments weekly.
Scrap pawning
Massachusetts really needs to move quickly to make scrap yards act like pawn shops when paying for scrap. There's no reason anyone should be accepting manhole covers at scrap yards - they are obviously stolen!
This could kill someone
on a bicycle, motorcycle, motor scooter, or the like.
Boston is rapidly turning
Boston is rapidly turning into a World Class City with Third World problems. On the one hand we do amazing things on a global stage and on the other our infrastructure and certain types of crimes belong in the Third World.
I take it you weren't around in the 1980s?
Boston is way, way cleaner, safer, and better maintained these days!
I hope this does not drain
I hope this does not drain BPD resources as they try to uncover the thief or leaves a back-up of other cases. It leaves a hole in my heart knowing the danger this can cause. In fact, it is very grating. But they will get to the bottom of this one drip at a time.
Oh get your mind out of the gutter
one was missing on my street
one was missing on my street in brookline village. meant to report that but i forgot, will do that now.
One missing in east Cambridge last week
I found one was missing by the Twin city plaza during the afternoon commute after dark. Called DPW and police and stayed to warn cyclists until they got there.
on what street?
was this on McGrath-O'Brien Highway or on Gore Street? Which direction?
Gore/Lambert
Gore st at Lambert, right in a spot where bikes would ride and just about every car going by hit, plus several pedestrians around who were unaware of it. Stupid dangerous, and in the dark with freezing rain. I stayed for over 20 minutes before a cop came to put an suv over it waiting for DPW to get there.
Someone needs to check the DCR
Remember this one? Classic....
