It sounds like the last week before high schools start.

Its the Satanists. Its gotta be the Satanists.

Authentic weathervanes can go for as much as $300.00 apiece on e-bay.

Its all a plot by The Man so that when the nuclear holocaust comes you won't know which way to run to escape the fallout.

OMG! THE TURRISTS ARE BUILDING WINDMILL-PROPELLED BOMBS!!! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!

You're so vane. I bet you think this post is about you.

Weather vanes, a lot of them anyway, are made of copper. I don't know about New England but in San Diego Recycled copper is fetching almost $3 a pound. TFA say's some of these vanes are a couple hundred pounds plus. No big mystery.

1.2 million dollars to find out the wind is blowing eas... no wait, it's going south now. Thank god for weather vanes.

didn't college start back recently?

Old and busted: Liberating garden gnomes
New hotness: Liberating weather vanes

I saw an Antiques Roadshow one time where this really old weathervane was valued at $12,000.

YOu wilL FinD yOur WeAthEr VanEs on eBay...

/I just read that Weather vanes are highly collectible.
//I bet someone in VT read that article and said...hmmmm

It was only back in Spring that they were stealing Sponge Bob Square Pants off of Burger Kink roofs.

I know, but the typo is funnier, I think.

This happened about 20 years ago as well.

Sure seems to be a shiat load of copper vanes on ebay by a couple of sellers in particular. Probably unrelated but....

New England always did know which way the wind is blowing.
/ The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

The value of those weathervanes can easily go into the thousands.

No mystery here.

"Were you on my roof last night stealing my weather vane?"

"This interview is over!!"

/the alien is silifoam based

and the worlds lamest thief awards have a winner!!!

They're tapping a rich vane.

Didn't RTFA

Our little town in Vermont got swept by them, people suddenly realize the next day or week that there's just a stub on their 1700-1800's era barn where their vane should be. This may have happened while the owners are sleeping just a few feet away! Think of the logistics...they had to manage everything in the dark, and on strange properties with dogs, or with farmers getting up really early or coming home late. These people are very crafty, and we believe it's one traveling group because there would be 5 neighbors in the area all hit at once.

The robbers are looking for those antique Morgan Horse weather vanes which are quite valuable I hear (In the thousands). It must be some kind of professional crew with skills in mountain climbing. Though I theorize they throw the rope over the barn one holds while the other climbs with a hacksaw.

It's not bizarre. The ones being stolen are very valuable.

Lemme see now. They locked up them radicals during the late 60's early 70's so they must be getting out of the federal prisons now.
Yep. The Weathermen are back on the streets.

Hell yah! Weather vane madness!!

We have a rock. When you see it, it's sunny. If you can't, it cloudy. If it's wet, it's raining. If it's white, it's snowing. Or would be, if it ever snowed in Los Angeles.
