Thieves Steal House Brick-by-Brick!

Dressed as workmen, they attempted to take the building, brick by brick and slate by slate.
The pair even stopped for lunch during their audacious theft and a neighbor inadvertently helped them by collecting fallen tiles.
All the roof slates were taken and one of the walls of the three-bedroom semi was wrecked before the alarm was raised.
The owner, a property developer, said the damage would cost him £10,000 to repair.
'You've got to laugh at it,' he said.
'They were literally stealing my house. They went there with hard hats and yellow jackets and took ladders. They even stopped for a lunch break.'
Dorset Police said two 38-year-old men had been arrested in connection with the incident in Parkstone, near Poole.

Old, weathered brick and wood are so 'in' with designers that there are companies here in the States that will demolish buildings for FREE just to reclaim and resell the materials.....
