I can't understand how they can
take a load of Covers & or Hydrants
to a Scrap yard & Not have someone see them
& ask Hey , Do you work for
Public Works ?

It's not like they can melt these things down.

or even smash them enough to be unidentifiable

one in each load of iron isn't even worth 2 Cents

The average criminal isn't too bright. I would venture to say the average petty thief is an even dimmer bulb. :sign13:

Riverside county is just a few miles from where I work, half my customers come from there. Funny thing is the thefts never made big news out here. I had to do a google to see what happened. All TV stations are in L.A. county so most news is from there. I live in Orange county and we only get some coverage unless it is something huge. I guess Riverside county rates even less than the OC >:(
