SWAMPSCOTT -- A Swampscott family is heartbroken and local veterans are outraged after a 20-foot-by-30-foot U.S. flag was stolen from a veterans’ monument in town. The flag stolen late Wednesday or early Thursday was mounted on a 60-foot pole on the World War I honor roll. Town veterans agent and Police Lt. James Schultz tells The Daily Item of Lynn that it was no small feat to take down the 50-pound flag. Officials say someone would have had to climb up the monument and then up the pole - about 25 feet - to cut down the flag. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/re...mpscott_flag_stolen_family_veterans_outraged/

My family donated a U.S. and POW flag many years ago when a park was built in our town. Within two weeks they were gone. My dad ended up knotting the ropes up high and greasing the pole so nobody could shimmy up the pole to steal them. It's a shame that you even need to think to do that.
