Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I'd love to have five or six of them hanging on the side of my house!

But said friend of a friend (or relative), allegedly took a shingle from Shea back in the early 80s. He claims they were dumped at the bottom of one of the walk ways, behind a gate or door that happened to be unlocked while he went past. Went in, picked one up, and was gone. I was always dubious in that I imagine those would be awfully big to try to smuggle inside a shirt. Or maybe he was on his way out at the time.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I don't know how big they were, but my best guess/recollection would be that they were at least four feet by four feet. Perhaps six by six.
