An Ohio man has been accused of renting a crane and using it to steal a 58-foot-long bridge from a public park, local police said on Monday.
Akron, Ohio, police said 63-year-old David Bramley was arrested on Friday and charged with felony theft for allegedly stealing the bridge in November.
The bridge was originally installed in Middlebury Run Park, but was later moved and stored in a field during a wetland restoration project, police said. But the bridge vanished by November 11.
Police said Bramley, who worked in the area, paid a local trucking company to get access to a crane. The man then used the crane to load the bridge onto a vehicle and drive it to a nearby property.
Bramley was identified as a person of interest in the case after police said they received multiple tips in connection with the case, and found the bridge partially disassembled while searching his property on Friday.
Akron's Municipal Court confirmed to Insider that Bramley will be arraigned on the felony charge on December 23. No attorney for Bramley was listed with the court.
Read the original article on Insider

I don't think I've ever read anything at insider . com. Maybe I have, but IDK.

I read the story in this article.

Both are about a bridge being stolen but aren't quite the same.

insider didn't mention the date of noticing the theft of the treated wood part or of finding the rest of the bridge to be missing 8 days later. I'd kinda like to know how the rest of the bridge was ignored for 8 days.

They also didn't mention that the wetland restoration project that it was removed from was in 2003-2004 or that "Officials were planning to reuse the materials from the bridge as part of a Battered Women’s shelter project." I wonder when that plan transpired.

I'm not trying to defend the criminal actions of stealing any bridge, to me it just seems like a couple strange stories about the same thing. There may even be other versions, who really knows?
