An infamous green skateboarding bench has gone missing again after Philadelphia skateboarders lifted it from New York City's Tompkins Square Park, and moved it to Philadelphia's Cecil B. Moore Station Plaza under the cover of night.
The bench had been placed in the Plaza, a popular skateboarder hangout near Temple University, last week before university police were contacted by the rightful owner of the bench and assisted in returning it.
The bench has had a reputation for moving around since skater Anthony Van Engelen introduced it to the skating world in a 2003 video. Van Engelen says he doesn't know its current whereabouts.
