Oddly Specific: Russian Man Accused Of Stealing Entire Road

A Russian man faces up to two years in prison for stealing an entire road, the Russian Interior Ministry said this week.

The man, a 40-year-old resident of Syktyvkar, the capital of Komi Republic in the Northwestern Federal District, admitted having stolen 82 reinforced concrete slabs that make up the roughly 1-mile road linking the village of Parcheg with the Vychegda River, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported Thursday.
