Rash Of Manhole-Cover Thefts Reported
From the "Only in America" notebook...
From TheIndyChannel.com:
"The Department of Public Works said more than 30 manhole lids and sewer grates have been taken. Authorities believe people stole the cast-iron coverings to sell them, citing a high worldwide demand for scrap metal."
"The public works department is having difficulty replacing the missing lids at a fast pace, especially because some grates are no longer made."
