New menace - manhole cover thefts
Cities and counties are battling manhole-cover thefts, a crime spree that police tie to the weak economy. Hundreds of 200-pound covers have disappeared in three months in California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Georgia as scrap metal prices pop up.
I hear that manhole covers make great, long-lasting replacement bicycle wheels.
Sounds like it would be a great workout, huh?
