In what has been described as one of the most bizarre strings of petty crimes ever recorded, dozens of people in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood have been reporting the theft of their house numbers. Interestingly, in all cases, only the “1” and “0” have been taken, which has earned the yet-to-be-identified thieves the nickname “binary bandits”.
You might not notice what’s missing from dozens of houses in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, but for those living there, it has been the main topic of discussion for the past two weeks. Someone is stealing the “1” and “0” from people’s house numbers and nobody seems to know why. There has been speculation about artists planing to use the numbers as part of an installation, or someone trying to send a message, but as for actual explanations, everyone, including the police, is drawing a blank.
One thing everyone can agree on is that the thefts have not occurred all at once. The “binary bandits” have been operating in the area for the last two weeks, hitting homes in the middle of the night and running away with the unusual loot under cover of darkness. Surveillance videos show the culprits casually walking up to people’s front doors, simply ripping the numbers out of the wall and casually walking away.

Obviously, they did it for the 101s. (LOLs, or lulz if you prefer).
Oh my...101!
Sounds like the weird crap getting stolen in Europe by Romas and new refugies when the Berlin wall fell

So.if a person steal a “zero”.. did they take “nothing”?
Oh no...the faggy Star Trek series.
Well done!
TNG was so so at best.
B5 is still superior to Trek. Firefly if it had been allowed to live would have given B5 a run for the money.
