That's the headline and though it may seem bizarre there really is a rationale for this theft (which must have taken some serious time and labor).


Sheriff’s detectives hope the public can help them find approximately 300-square-feet of brick pavers stolen from a driveway Tuesday.

The victim told Deputy Michelle Wright that she left her home in the 4500 block of Northwest 120th Street around 7:30 a.m. When she arrived home at 6 p.m. and drove onto the driveway, she felt a large “bump.” She said she got out of her vehicle and noticed that the concrete pavers used to make the driveway were missing.

A witness told the deputy about seeing two men digging up the pavers, but said the activity didn’t seem suspicious because the victim had workers constructing a barn on the property

Yumpin' yiminy, people will steal anything it seems.

Very creative though.

I believe it.

I've heard of people stealing landscaping.

Thieves will steal anything. When I was robbed they took my decorative light switch plates.

That's okay. After being robbed and going through a major disaster froufrou stuff just doesn't matter that much to me now. There was one positive in the ordeal. I went and got me a German Shepherd after that. She's been the best pet ever. So good does come out of bad.

I still hate thieves with a passion though. If someone needs something all they have to do is ask. They might be surprised at what they are given.

This is easily the stupidest caper I have read about in a while. For a follow up, they should steal roof shingles off of a house too.

Those pavers are fairly expensive in quantity. Of course, if you have to steal them in quantity to make any money that becomes real work. So, stealing stuff to avoid working becomes work. And, a felony.
