Two men were seriously injured when a porch collapsed on the 1400 block of West Garfield Boulevard Tuesday evening. The porch collapsed when they accidentally dropped the stove they were stealing, causing the landing to break. The two men, ages 24 and 46, were taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition. If they recover they can expect to have their asses hauled off to jail. If not, well then Chicagoist intends to nominate them for the Darwin Awards!
