Da fuh yo?

When will people learn that in New Orleans, NOTHING is safe.

Any baws on here aware of a black market for structural steel? Isn't that stuff stamped in some way? Would seem like it would be hard to move. It's not like stealing bearer bonds in some corny 80s action movie.

As I have been saying my whole life, anything not tied down in Nola will grow legs. There are literally no exceptions.

Just need to know one builder willing to look the other way
All else fails cut it in pieces and take it to a scrap mill in another state

If it weren't for the 18 wheeler and rough terrain forklift, I'd say check at the scrapyard near Broad St. and find out 300K of steel was scrapped for 3 grand. Maybe. a-hole employees were scrapping new valves and fittings at S&WB for about 2 or 3% of their actual cost.

But this is a semi-well though out plan or its somebody repoing the steel for unpaid bills.

But NOPD showed up within a few hours to write a report that will likely be ignored. That's progress!

Is someone going to have fore-fit their contract? How are you so certain it wasn’t some fringe element that saw a chance at a chip shot score?

Inside job

That’s right inside job, I used to work out at Monsanto with a contractor that ran wire all throughout the plant.

Metal is expensive. Got to be easy to pawn steel beams.
