Old Glory has gone missing from the Brooklyn Bridge before.
Thieves swiped two American flags from the span two years ago, but they were never busted, according to a Department of Transportation worker tasked with replacing the flags on the bridge Tuesday.
"They went up and robbed the flags from both ends in 2012," Nick Krevatas, 49, a bridge painter, told The Post.
The case had been reported to cops, said Krevatas, who said he replaced those flags, too. Local media never picked up the story.
Another US flag was stolen from the bridge 10 years ago, during the 2004 Republican National Convention, Krevatas noted.
Krevatas, who has been to the top of the bridge 30 to 40 times, says flag-grabbing is a tough enterprise. Thieves must scale a locked gate to reach the top of the towers.
"There's a door up there, a gate. They scaled it and climbed up the ladder to the top," he said.
