Eleven Steelers Super Bowl Banners Come Up Missing

If you see a Steelers Super Bowl banner from the cities parade on EBay anytime soon – let the police know about it. Reports say that 11 of the banners from the teams Super Bowl victory parade have been stolen from the Pittsburgh Public Works garage.

Director Guy Costa said Friday that workers found only two signs in the storage area Friday, meaning someone heisted the 11 other ones.
The city paid $95 each for 50 banners that lined the parade route following the Steelers’ 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

Five banners were stolen from the parade route, and the city offered the other 45 to the public for $150 each to cover the additional cost of hanging and taking down the signs. Fans quickly bought the banners and had picked up all but 13 by Thursday.

Costa told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that police are investigating and the city will replace the stolen banners if necessary.
