PORTHOLE

SOMEONE in Maine has been on a mission to steal massive bells, with the Coast Guard busy searching for 10 brass gongs and bells that have been stolen from 10 buoys off the coast of Portland.

Considering the devices are used to make loud sound to help navigate boats in poor weather and weighing 168 kgs per bell, it is really a baffling situation taking its toll.

The Coast Guard told local media that the bells were most likely being sold to nautical novelty stores or scrap stores.

However the most vexing aspect of this story is that this isn’t the first time Maine’s bells have been snatched.
