I was taking a walk around the block one day when I saw this:

I thought, "How could this happen?!?!" It was very upsetting to see this happen to a perfectly good 1x4 w/ pin holes!

There is a killer on the loose! Get out the torches and the pitchforks, we must rid the world of this hideous wickedness!

Josh (digs through the garden shed for his pitchfork...)

Edit: Wait a minute...is that even Lego? The color seems off and the sides above the technic holes are indented. Anubiscong, I can't tell in the picture, do the studs say "Lego" on them?

"Great minifig armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the Bricks, ships shall be built to carry our Minifig-Warriors out amongst the households and we will spread Legoism to all the unbelievers. The power of the Lego will be felt far and wide and the wicked shall be vanquished."

That seriously looks like a victim of Jack the Bricker... Ripper...

Seriously... how could that have even happened?

You will always be in our hearts and our minds. May you rest in peace. Farewell little technic!

Yes, it really is Lego. I just can't get a better picture of it.

That's horrible!

Hmm. That's really wierd, as all the technic bricks I know of have hollow studs. It must be either a clone, with the LEGO name on it, or a really old piece.

It doesn't look like it is. From the little upside-down arches in between the hold it looks like one side of a destroyed 4 x 4 technic peice that had the 2 x 2 cutout in the middle so as to form a square with holes on all sides. I think there's something similar in black in the Viking Ship's catapult. If someone knows what I'm talking about and could give a peeron link would be nice.

Hmm, do you mean this:

? That makes more sense, but Peeron doesn't list it in red (if indeed that's what color this one is), and that still wouldn't explain the solid studs. Also, the arches look upside down, and the left side doesn't seem to be ripped the right way. It might be a longer version though. Good guess.

It looks like it might have been one of these:

Except that Peeron doesn't list them in red, either, and the studs still look hollow. But that would account for the stress marks along the bottom edge, and the inverted arches.

You sound like a detective. It's awesome!

Is it red or Light Grey? I can't tell...
