Yet in the UK it takes two years to do roadworks on the motorway, learn from this guy highway agency!

So that's what Carmen Sandiego was up to.
afon
A government who just got stolen some highway.
cptwott
He got away with it.

When new technology was being tested and they got lucky that only the road disappeared but they covered it by saying the chinese man did it.

If you can steal it you can sell it

That's some Carmen Sandiego shit there.

Someone near where I live stole and entire bridge. They out an APB out for Carmon Sandiago

I bet he broke it up and made foundation or bricks for a house or something to that effect.

Trouble is, 30 minutes later you want to steal another Chinese road.
Janusha
On the other hand... How poor and desperate do you need to be to steal 800 meters of concrete.
JelloPutinPops
Nice road you got there. Would be a shame if something...happened to it. -Chinese guy
sillycucumber
I mean, it's China, so are we sure that the road was there in the first place and they're just lying to save face?
TezuNii
It's China not the US, That road was probably stolen and replaced 10 times before they talked about it
Rifneno
Russia did it first, of course. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/russian-man-accused-stealing-entire-road-f6C10835592

Actually, way back before they realized Nevada had a shitload of silver, they were mining gold in it and paving some towns with this 1/
"worthless" black sand they were digging up. Then someone realized that black sand was silver. It went how you imagine. /2

that makes a lot of sense. he would need to dig 7ft per minute to clear it in 12 hours and it says over night so atleast 9ft per min to doit
UpvoteFairy3001
Thank you for doing the math for me
Wormbo2
That is some SERIOUSLY HEAVY machinery though. Even a 15t excavator, lifting the road in 10x6ft sheets would need a team of about 4 of them
Erutanmi
How’d you get 7ft per minute? 800m ~ 2400ft. 12hrs = 720mins. That’s 3.33ft/min.
oh noooooooo i did it all wrong! fuck. some where in there i doubled it on accident
No worries! I thought I was crazy bad at math because I’ve been out of school for too long. Cheers!

Ok so we have the how

Construction called for Filler materials that allow drainage, stuff like gravel, crushed stone, or crushed concrete. It's more expensive(1)
Then you would think. Ironically whoever bought this has a good chance of wanting to use it to put in another roads base.
Welp now my questions have been answered for the night, thank you Sir Cat

No no, take your legs completely out of the equation. You want to fully use your back with a sharp, twisting motion.

don't spin this to make china the big boogeyman again, there are people that steal bridges here in europe
needanamedammit
Copper line theft is a large problem in the US as well. that's not just a China thing.
Trying to compare the two is like comparing candy store theft to robbing a bank. China's problem is much worse.
Irreal
They should like electrify them to prevent theft
Also the UK.
