| You've got to be pretty hard up to steal a manhole cover!

| To think that someone would put another person at risk like that for $2.

| I just wonder who buys manhole covers??? You'd think it was a little shady. Some rep for a scrap metal company drives a truck late at nite through a seedy neighborhood while trying to dodge holes in the street. He pulls into a dark alley and a couple of young men run up to the truck and say "Hey man what you need?" The driver replies "I'm lookin for a steal on steel". The punks replie "I got manhole covers, I got sewer grates, you just tell me what you want and i'll hook you up."

| I think they are recycling them and possibly making the resulting steel in to manhole covers! LOL A friend used to work attending to storm drains he would have to lift the covers and pump all the water out with his truck. He was payed a lot more than $2 per man hole and still that wasn't enough, they're very heavy and it's quite hard work lifting them. He did put them back when he was done though.

| It is quite a popular past time around here... But believe it or not, paving slabs seem to be the favourite, expecially the old ones, get a good price for them apparently....

 with all the cottage industry in china, i would doubt the manhole covers ever make it to a proper recycling center.
