Tacky thieves take plastic flamingos in Bedford


24 plastic flamingos were stolen from a Bedford home in the middle of the night; John Waters, where are you when we need you?

In addition to pink flamingos, the thieves have started a collection of decapitated heads.

— In a crime unfathomable not for its daring but for its taste, 24 plastic pink flamingos were stolen from a Bedford home Wednesday morning. The victimized homeowner has valued the flamingos at the strange price of exactly $147, or $6.125 each.

Not sure who would attempt such a dastardly crime -- maybe John Waters is planning a sequel?
