Cowards Steal Hero's PlaqueI have a hard time believing this.
Even in New York.
The simple message read, "In memory of Firefighter Dave Fontana, 1-0/17/63 - 9/11/01. Beloved husband, father, neighbor, artist, hero."
Its only anchor was a foot-long metal spike, as no one imagined it would be a target for thieves in the generally crime-free neighborhood, which is also home to Fontana's firehouse.Let's hope that the thief gets a guilty conscience.
