I Been Dirt And I Don’t Care Because I’m Burning Inside

It’s easier to have 300 cubic yards of potentially toxic dirt “stolen” than it is to dispose of it properly, right? Just asking:

Tons of dirt are missing from the construction site of Brooklyn’s planned Ikea megastore, and cops are investigating if and why the potentially toxic soil was stolen, a company spokesman said yesterday.

The 300 cubic yards of soil were made up of crushed concrete and debris, according to Ikea’s Joseph Roth.

John McGettrick, of the Red Hook Civic Alliance, which opposes the project, said toxic materials, such as asbestos, oil and mercury, have previously been found at the site, and demanded an investigation.
