[quote]West Vancouver police say a brass propeller that was once attached to a vessel owned by infamous rum-runner Al Capone has been stolen from a local home.
Police say the 135-kilogram propeller worth about $5,000 was taken from the front yard of a residence early Friday morning.
They say the propeller is heavy and would need to be carried by three to four people.
West Vancouver police are asking anyone with information to contact them. [/quote]

Seeing how anything in Vancouver that isn't encased in concrete (or anywhere right now actually) [i]will[/i] get stolen by metal theives, especially now that pretty much everything has some serious scrap value (and yes, they still steal pipes out of parking garages), I'm sure it's already been cut up into about four pieces and then sold to scrappers down in Richmond and New West because that's where all the "No ID: No Problem" guys are.
Anyone else misread his name as Al Pacino?
At least his landing gear is still safely resting in his grave.
