Who's Stealing Manhole Covers?

last week we did a story about how bridges around the world are literally get installed and install and i also people can sell them at all and some of the materials are used to make that bridge well we have a similar problem in the united states except it doesn't involve bridges it involves of metal storm drain greats now hundreds of these grades are missing in some parts of the united states i'd just to give you some a few examples there were sixteen missing in philadelphia recently seven missing in um... uh... in new york uh... eighteen missing in out organ and six hundred missing in atlanta and review and a centers all over the reads that you have three one of still up for sale and i was having i hang out at this is the story was a terrific assume this huge brit so this is actually causing a lot of really big problems because uh... if that it's basically like the cover for the storm drains right dismissing people can accidentally drive into it bicycle is conforming to it uh... and so people are getting injured and is also costing city easing municipalities a significant amount of money to replace it because they're made with steel hired on you know it and that's what it really its acrobat it adds labor costs now if you go to like a junk yard or something you try to sell it there at most you can get between fifteen to twenty dollars for it and by the way you gotta keep in mind that some of these are great actually way up to three hundred pound scenic maybe two people to help you do it now but i hear you but the flip side as most people here that briefing will bid twenty dollars like mystery where regular identical are picking it up but you know you do it mean get a couple i'm surprises any grace left to right killing people are economic tough times last but one of the story is at stake people are so desperate they're going on with the three hundred pound rates to try to get fifteen to twenty bucks if they could find the right sulting both with an entire household satara you know but again the major cities park feeling it like the upper class in those cities aren't really that much so they're confused by the story right like they are tempting i don't get a what why are they doing that here because ought to be more strongly they are struggling and and the thing is to look in the wealthy can't continue building the moats around their palaces and castles okay the reality is the restrepo all wealthy people well-off people whatever you want to call them are just as likely to fall into that storm drain as anyone else because they need to use those streets they have to deal with the infrastructure winner infrastructure is falling apart and people are literally ceiling rages and storm drain grates we have a real problem on our hands and they have to deal with it and i hope that they feel the pain just as much as you know the middle-class and working-class wants to feel the pain witnesses persisted they got to be getting on with the money is if you have the storm grades some to the citizens of selected on this plastered on this i believe you says well why don't you find a likelihood of a much shorter let him know that i should know that there were cases of developers that purchased and for a significantly between a hundred to three hundred dollars of lovers will pay a pretty penny for them on this so that that's really the thing that's most probably going on lamp right because that's not a professional skills so that's a different genius lou because of the city concerts in of all processes that by the grace of their work well as luck would have that has made a hundred of course they requested three thousand dollars and it's a good business you know what i'm saying they paid the hot to proceed to hundred and the guys that had led to a use of the twenty and then he is itself a three thousand every gets paid and where's the money come from taxpayers and so i'm against this book trip with a great speller and are we all agreed mid manhole is the funniest one of the plains was in the conditioner nobles pretty funny is that lady's professionally headlines and also the grade as a man yet right so the greater the ones that are great yest so that different somebody opens for the men on the phone said it
