Superman plaque stolen

A plaque honouring The Man of Steel and the two friends who created the super hero character has been stolen by scrap metal thieves in Cleveland, Ohio in the US.

A historical marker was erected near a house where two high school classmates - Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster - created the Superman character in 1933.

According to the neighborhood's development authority , the Glenville Development Corporation, a hacksaw was used to remove the plaque from atop a pole two weeks ago.

The Plain Dealer newspaper quoted Tracey Kirksey, executive director of the corporation as saying that the aluminum marker may have been swiped because its colouring may have misled the culprits to think it was bronze, a popular target of scrap thieves.

The city installed the plaque eight years ago. Kirksey said the plaque would be replaced.

She said the original's misspelling of Jerry Siegel's name would also be corrected in the new marker.
