Psst! Hey! Wanna buy a bridge?

Thieves steal bridge

Scrap metal thieves in Russia managed to steal a 200-tonne steel bridge without anyone noticing.

The 38ft structure in Khabarovsk in the east of the country vanished overnight, reports Metro.

It was part of the only road leading to a heating plant.

Bosses at the company said the cost of replacing the bridge would be ten times the value of the scrap metal that had been stolen.

They plan to replace the bridge with one made of concrete.

I can see it now - "No, I didn't steal the bridge. A cabbie sold it to me..."
