How Brick Thieves Do It

This Pub Def video features Alderman Sam Moore (D-4th) explaining how brick thieves do their work. This first appeared in August 2007, but it is relevant this summer as the streets of north St. Louis gear up against this wave of criminal activity.




Moore's comment that "somebody is doing it from the inside" of the Building Division still rings loud and clear. Has the Building Division ever investigated links between thieves and its demolition staff? If not, Alderman Moore and his colleagues on the Board of Aldermen should.

Tickets to the World Series for sale, towed used cars for sale-cheap,... local corruption not an issue? I know private driveways in LA made of StL brick.
