Can you believe this? Cobblestones stolen.

Somebody stole cobblestones from the famous Koppenberg climb causing this Sunday's Tour of Flanders to be re-routed. Read about in this CyclingNews article.

Quote:

Speaking to the media in Ghent, Belgian police detective Tom Bliboos said they had received information suggesting that a shadowy underworld figure known only by the nickname “Makka Pakka” is behind the theft. Residents close to the Koppenberg report hearing strange noises coming from the climb in the middle of Wednesday night.

What's your point? Obviously if it happens on March 31st, it's going to get reported on April 1st. Duh!
