The bell tolls for thee
It takes a special kind of thief to steal a giant bell from a church.
Daily Mail: "Parishioners at the First Presbyterian Church of South Charleston are wondering for whom the bell tolls. The question stems from the recent theft of a mammoth bell housed in the church's rear parking lot...Police said a possible motive for the heist would be to sell the bell for scrap metal. "
If you've seen this bell, do not -- I repeat, do NOT -- buy it for scrap metal.

Speaking of bold criminals, here's one who stole a car right after he was released from jail:
Man allegedly steals car right after being freed from jail
CHARLESTON (AP) -- A former used appliance dealer who has been in trouble for more than a decade for selling bogus appliances now stands accused of stealing a car.
The Jeep was taken from the parking lot of a South Charleston Wal-Mart just 30 minutes after 43-year-old Don Mullins was released from jail.
According to police, Mullins was stopped for speeding a couple of hours after the Jeep was stolen.
