Most Expensive Lawn Ornament Ever
Palm Beach, FL
A 500 lb. “quartz gem rockâ€, valued at $100,000, was removed from the front lawn of a residence in the 200 block of Sandal Lane. The rock, which took four men to place it on the lawn, has been in the family for many years.

If I had a rock worth $100,000, I sure as heck wouldn’t leave it in my yard. Sounds like some inflated its worth for insurance purposes.
If the thieves were smart, they would have left a poor plaster mold of a rock in it’s place. No one would have been the wiser. Except, perhaps, the investigating police/art critics.

For some reason I keep picturing the giant crystal that General Zod was trapped in in Superman 2.

Berlincoln, oldewave, you must not be in NY, cause every one knows that a NY echo goes something like this…………
“Helllooo…….”
“Shut the f*@k up!”

A Nebraska echo? “Hellooo…” “Wanna buy some Husker tickets,cheap?”

A rock can only be valued at $100 grand if there was a market for it. Except for landscaping, would anyone be able to name a potential customer willing to pay $100,000 for a flippin’ rock? I can’t, but hey, I live in South Dakota, where we have a rock that’s priceless…Mt. Rushmore!
The land of wide open spaces, where men are men and the sheep are nervous. Where an echo goes something like this:
“Hellooooooooo…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………” And then from NY you hear, “Shut the f*ck up”

I can think of a rock that would cost more than 100 grand if it were also 500 lbs—Crack!—maybe some crack head on pcp absconded with it. I can see it now—a piece of plumbing pipe and an acetylene torch…….and them muttering….. I must have died and went to heaven heaven heaven heaven.
