Stealing bricks right off off the buiding

Sounds like a headline you might expect to hear out of Baltimore.

But it isn’t! This story is out of St. Louis.

(Though I’m a bit ashamed to mention that the only reason this probably isn’ta problem in Baltimore is because Baltimore brick isn’t particularly good. Hence Formstoneand painted brick. Baltimore brick is pretty enough, but kinda soft and easy to tunnel through, as many a burglar knows. Speaking of which, are they still stealing lampposts in Baltimore or has that somehow stopped?)
