Bad time to be walking around for anyone with gold teeth.
I mean, who thinks about stealing a freaking sewer drain cover under normal circumstances?
Serious though. I would not be displaying a mouth full of these in a time when gold is $1600 an oz.You sir just won the internet!
I hear small bits of lead and copper will be given out for free to thieves who attack certain people. Perhaps they could sell those?
While crime rates may be going down (a guy in the crime business ought to know), look at the types of crimes being reported; they all involve an expressed lack of respect for other people's property in ways that are really unhealthy for society. Not too many years ago, stealing from the dead was the province of the truly soul-less thief; now it seems to be more-and-more commonplace.
Don't know about the street lights but some people tried to cash in manhole coversLOL street lights? Seriously????
