More than 100 rifles stolen from boxcar in Atlanta train yard

12/1/2012

Who says 19th century train robberies are passé? Indeed, some old school crooks impressively tiptoed off with over 100 rifles somewhere around Nov. 12. The haul included assault and AK-style rifles. The robbery, which occurred at Tilford Yard, about four miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, appears to have only recently been discovered as federal authorities are just now deputizing able-bodied men, saddling up and sending out parties to search for the varmints. Jesse James, through his spokesman, has denied involvement. [Source]
