Verily I say, tis an epidemic!

I suspect there is some small island that is about to declare independence. Not sure who they wish to be independent of, or why, but it seems their Ninja Gnomes have been touring the globe getting ready for the opening of the island. They are currently working on the infrastructure. To minimize suspicion they are visiting various parts of the globe to get what they need.

In Russia they got a bridge.

In Australia they got an Anti-Youth Crime Shelter.

And we wondered...will the mayhem never stop? What next shall be stolen...and where will they strike? Actually, the answer is probably quite obvious. If you have a building and a bridge, you probably need a road to get there with.

Dateline, Germany: There is a mile and a half of road missing after thieves somehow managed to escape notice while ripping it out of the ground and carting it away.

I guess they must have been smart enough to take advantage of my crime-planning service...
