    This kind of thing really, REALLY gets on my nerves...

    Manhole covers being stolen

    I absolutely cannot stand thieves, but when they pull this kind of crap it just really sets me off, not only stealing metal but putting innocent people in danger because of WHAT they happen to be ripping off. Sorry if it sounds like I'm ranting, but I'm sure you all feel the exact same way...

    "We can't say for sure why they are stealing them,"
    "But we would have to assume they are stealing them for the value of the material."
    Of course it's for the value of the material...

    The cover is in place at the .20 mark. I don't speak the language of the video but I don't think it has anything to do with metal theft.

    Looked like a different manhole. He hit one just before that.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
