pistonbroke Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just recieved word that over 40 manhole covers were stolen last night in the borough of Bexley. Witnesses have given some details, and it seems a crew of tea leaves have got together and are hitting the Kent area late at night. So anyone driving in the early hours or first thing in the morning is advised to take extra care. I'd imagine dropping a wheel into an uncovered drain has the potential to write the car off.

With the "recession" and metal prices on the up it's only going get more common. The lead thief's have been out my way lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
