Brass, copper stolen from trolley museum

Thieves stole brass and copper parts from trolleys at the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor.

It was the second time in less than a year that the museum has been targeted by thieves.

The thefts including two cars which were ransacked for metal parts including one trolley that was the last of its kind to run in public service in the entire country.

A volunteer found the damage Saturday morning during a tour and called police.

But because the barn's not frequently checked, the metal could have been stolen weeks ago and no one would have known.

Just last July someone vandalized the museum's main buildings.
