A Bethlehem man has been charged with theft and receiving stolen property, after Hellertown Police say he stole 40 pounds of aluminum gutter and downspouting from a Roth Avenue residence on the morning of March 5.

The irony of this is that he could probably have made as much money - even at a minimum wage job - in the same time it took him to remove and steal the gutter and downspout.
