Two bridges too far

Two Macedonian men who stole two 30ft bridges have been arrested after they tried to sell them to a scrapyard. Police said Nikodim Bozinovski and David Gorgievski had taken the two 30-foot bridges over the rivers Crna Reka and Rajec down piece by piece. They were caught after a scrapyard dealer got suspicious when 20 trucks loaded with 200 tonnes of steel turned up at his yard. Congratulations to the conscientious scrapyard owner for his civic-mindedness, but one has to wonder how vital the two bridges were if no-one else noticed they were missing.
