In Yuma Arizona Thieves Endanger Lives for $20 Metal

As I posted before, metal thieves are doing a lot of damage for a small amount of money.

These thieves will damage your car and even rob graves- for scrap metal that might only yield a few bucks. I just got done reading a story about how in Yuma Arizona thieves are stealing manhole covers. Obviously this is very dangerous for motorists and pedestrians. Someone could walk into one and fall, possible die. It could cause a car accident ( presumably after the catalytic converter has already been stolen).

Talking serious bodily and/or property damage. And for how much? Maybe 15-20 dollars. Petty theft of scrap metal can be tempting in rough times, but I hope people think about the damage they can be doing, and don't do it. It's only a few bucks. It's not worth it.
