Just a reminder that cops plant piles of bricks at protests in order to tempt the protesters to violence.

"Hey boss, about that load of bricks you asked me to haul here so that the protesters would grab them and we would then arrest them? Uh, some construction worker dude just showed up with a truck and stole all of them. ...No we somehow didn't catch the license plate. ...Well the surveillance video is pretty bad, the dude just looked like a construction worker, not much to go by. ...I mean, of course nobody did a thing, it was a construction worker, no one gives a shit if a construction worker picks up a pile of bricks. ...No, I don't know what he's going to do with them. Build a house, probably, the bastard - none of them build giant walls, like they should."

I wonder if it had belonged to anyone prior

You should also know your comment made me laugh hard enough to annoy my cat into evacuating the area.

I like the Star Wars approach. Just make them as stupid as possible.
