Suspects sought after Florida woman reports stolen driveway  Published December 13, 2012
Associated Press    REDDICK, Fla. –  Sheriff's detectives have a real whodunit on their hands after a north Florida woman came home and found her driveway missing.
According to deputies, the woman felt a "bump" when she drove onto her driveway Tuesday night. She got out of her vehicle and discovered about 300-square-feet of brick pavers were missing.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports she told deputies the pavers were in place when she left home about 7:30 that morning.
 
A witness told deputies about seeing two men digging up the pavers. But the activity didn't seem suspicious because construction workers were building a barn on the property. The witness told investigators the men were driving an older model black pickup with a flat-bed utility trailer.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 352-368-7867.

Coupla things:
1) I thought crooks were supposed to be lazy! These guys are hard working and industrious. Maybe it was a theft designed as a prank by pranksters rather than a theft calculated to be a theft by crooks. Pranksters will work their butts off for a good prank.
 
2) I was thinking of buying some pavers for a small landscaping project, and I balked at it because those things are expensive. I'm not surprised that people would start stealing them.
