how the hell did the thieves load it?

Found a Bigfoot to carry it

Bigfoot can only lift between 600 to 900 pounds. So they needed at least 3 bigfoots at the minimum to lift it.

Pshh, everyone knows this.

Was probably at a Taco Bell, right under our noses!

A dolly?

Bigfeet

Right? At that point just let them have it, they worked for it!

So they drove by it. Literally zero effort to recover it.

I just want to say that I submitted the update to openstreetmaps when this church was demolished. We live pretty close by and people came to take stones from the rubble to use in retaining walls. Never thought about what happened to the bell.

OMG, this was on my ring alert, lolll, I’ll never not laugh about this, lol. It’s usually shootings, this way better news. Like I’ve lived in Detroit, Tampa, and Pittsburgh guess which city is the most violent. I’ll give ya a hint, it wasn’t the mitten or the flacid southern member danglin off the SE like gramps at a nude beach Lolollll

They stole a back loader lololllllll

Allegedly..

Zero effort to remove from property either besides the weight. Street view just shows the bell sitting on the grass in the graveyard like trash.

Did they really? I saw a video clip on KDKA and the thieves clearly drove something with significant tread up to the bell. I wouldn't have guessed that that was also stolen, but it does make sense.

It was on my ring neighbor thing, said they stole the backhoe to move the bell
