Six Newsstands Vanish, Leaving Owners Bewildered
by KYW's Mike Dunn
The bizarre case of the missing Philadelphia newsstands has a new twist, as officials learn more about the man who seemingly hired a crane company to move the stands without the permission of their owners. Newsstand owners at six locations -- three in Center City, two in West Philadelphia, and one in the Northeast -- were shocked Monday morning to show up for work and find their newsstands had vanished into thin air.
