Post in Architectural theft

Mar 03 00:31 UTC

Hi Wizard-

  Interesting this happened (and I share you sentiment). I would point out,
however, that Minneapolis benefits too. My parents home town of Graceville MN
has had more than a couple raids of buildings.  In one example a nearly fifty
foot bar with leaded mirrors, panelled sides with engraved wheat shafts was
take from a building an investor said would be kept open (this was not an
abandoned building but a low profit business that was sold).

  It kinda cuts both ways.

alas, not so. The stain glass from my house disappeared many years ago, before
I owned it.

These thieves will also pack up your stuff and truck it to Chicago and sell it
there.

Quite frequently, the thieves work for remodelers, sometimes the city,
sometimes non-profits who work on houses. Years ago, people working for Joe
Selvaggio were carting off windows and wood work at a merry clip.

Time to alert the neighborhood groups to get the word out to all their members.
