On the right track
Thieves steal underground track
Czech police are investigating after more than 1,000 feet of railway track was stolen from the Prague underground.Police say they suspect a group of homeless people were behind the theft of the track in the Czech capital's Prague 10 district.
They said the 12 tons of track would have been worth about £1,500 on the scrap metal market, local media reported.
Not quite reminiscent of A J Deutsch's outstanding (and under-anthologised) story "A Subway Named Möbius", but still quite an interesting problem of logistics.
