'KDKA investigator Andy Sheehan found out, getting it removed is no easy matter. All government agencies contacted by KDKA-TV said it's not their responsibility."

Seriously? What's so difficult about the city or state towing it out and charging the owner all the costs.

Try getting bridge sidewalks clean in Pittsburgh. It's the same thing. PennDOT or county (whoever owns the bridge) says it's local, and vice versa.

Surely they can tie the boat back to an owner somehow, right?

If so, get it out and charge it back to the owner. But, yes, I know, it's government. Nothing is ever easy.

It every one is saying "it's not my problem". Someone can find the owner without a problem but no one wants to. Everyone put their finger on their nose and says "not it" until a court forces them to accept responsibility.

When I run past there I keep thinking "what if I untie it bit by bit..."

Of course the sideways boat is further up the river and has been there for years.
