Fence Finale

Wire Services Report - San Jose, CA: In an unexpected end to a lengthy saga, temporary fencing securing temporary fencing vanished overnight from a downtown San Jose location. After having occupied the area with seemingly no purpose or designated use for over five months, all that remained on Friday morning was an indentation and fallen leaves which marked the footprint of its former resting spot. Law enforcement officials were contacted, but no reports have been filed reporting the temporary fencing being lost or stolen. "We have not been contacted about any stolen fencing," Lieutenant Bill E. Clubb stated. "Until we have information contrary to this, it is our assumption that no foul play is involved in this non-case."

Residents and office dwellers in area are shocked by the disappearance of the temporary fencing guarding temporary fencing. "I am completely distraught" said a passerby calling himself just bob. "I left work last night and it was there and this morning nothing. I just don't understand how something like this can happen in what I thought was a safe neighborhood." Others seemed to be taking things in stride. "I really didn't pay much attention to it" said resident Shirley Ujest, "but now that it is gone I may miss it a little." Another local resident was not as delicate in his response. "I'm glad that fencing is finally gone. It was an eyesore and a blight on the area," said Sal Ammander. "They never even used it."

That was the main mystery behind the temporary fencing. While located on a main plaza for foot traffic, it appeared to be untouched for most of its nearly half a year stay. "We never ordered it," said Facility Development and Operations Manager Ken Struckshun . "It wasn't my responsibility and I had no reason to have it removed." A canvas of the area turned up no freshly fenced in areas, so it is apparent the fencing has been removed rather than being relocated. Calls to the fencing company for comment have thus far been un-returned. Anyone with information on the disposition of the temporary fencing guarding temporary fencing is encouraged to call (888) NO-FENCE. All callers will remain anonymous.
