Newspaper 'steals' Empire State building in just 90 minutes

what an interesting concept, stealing buildings?

I am very impressed by the journalism though...stuff like this is rare these days!

:D i will own the world...muahahahahaha

I remember when I was 9, I went to new york with my mother. One of the trips we took was to the empire state building. When we arrived this guy asked me "hey kid , wanna buy a building?" If I only knew then what I know now.....

this is the greatest investigative reporting i have ever seen

lmfao priceless :D

And the movie is coming out when?

I'm going out to get more printer ink right now!

wow, whoever thought of that is a genius

hell the Eiffel tower was stolen/sold 4 times or so...

thats ridiculous..i wonder if it would be legitimate if someone else did this in the court of law. That is awesome if it does..

I wonder if it will fit in their office?

If this farce can happen so easily, just think what else could be stolen, like weapons, entire data bases, etc.. Wake up America and protect yourself or one day you too will be stolen.

this is interesting because it means that there are still loopholes in government and that no matter how high security gets, people will always prove how much smarter they are than the system.

As bad as this could have been, it was pretty clever

Are you serious?? Are people reeeaally that dumb as to not pay more attention to what is presented to them? Ridiculous. Do your job right or don't do it at all!

Don't suppose anyone would try to steal control of the government using loopholes like this?

Haha nice!

....able to steal tall buildings in just minutes....it's a bird, it's a plane...IT"S SUPER PRANK

Perfect! Use the system against the system. Huge companies have really begun to take advantage of American citizens and small business. It's about time the tables turn...

That's just classically creative.

What a fine fine hustle.

I am quite impressed and find this to be extremely amusing.
Congrats to the newspaper and their incredibly stealth ninja skills.

Hahaha. This is awesome

It just goes to show that you don't need Danny Ocean to Bogart something worth billions of dollars. Just an incredible amount of moxie and signatures from two dead people. Brilliant!

I LOVE this!

First the fake New York Times and now this. Maybe journalists are finally growing a back bone.

Even if you did steal it where do you put something as big as that.
However, the theft was genius.

They did it to show how easy it really was. The notary signature was Willie Sutton? The office of the city register needs a staff revamp if anything, Fay Wray was the witness? These journalists get an A+ for creativity and showing us all just how clueless people everywhere are screwing us in the ass...hard.

This is a hilarious story.

Completely genius!!! Just shows how well the system works.

Damn journalists! Who do they think they are??!!

Stealing a building in nyc doesn't sound like a very good idea anyways. You got taxes, insurance, mortgage, upkeep, blah, blah, blah. Only a stupid person/people would actually do this....probably be better off without.

Not too often you hear about people stealing buildings.
