    I commute by train and the cable thefts cause extremely long delays. Utterly infuriating.

    Round here there have been a lot of these thefts, we are a popular place for 'fellow members of Europe' to visit, and this time of year its always the same the criminal tourists arrive to make some money for Christmas during the darker days. Anything thats not welded down goes. The council have been very quick to replace the drain covers, they have new non metal ones made out of some super strong plastic. Great idea!

    Because of course there are no dishonest Britischers are there?
  • They took them from our street too and it was dangerous with holes everywhere.

    They took them from the next street too, big iron covers. These have been replaced with plastic ones.

    Scrap metal merchants will accept anything.
