Has any one else had their roof stripped of all the lead flashing, as a lot of houses and flats in our Area are having a problem with this. It appears that some people have no respect for anyones property these days..

  1. Funny you should say that....my Mom lives in the Sheldon area of Birmingham and this sort of thing has suddenly started happening a lot!! Sad isn't it? nothing is safe these days!!

    We live in Cyprus now, and we can quite happily leave our house or car unlocked, without fear of anything untoward happening!  


  2. It is everywhere.  The big thing around here is copper anything, from plumbing pieces, pipes, and even copper roofs, gutters and downspouts.  All sold as scrap metal for cash.  Guess where?

  3. It is the usual greed tied to the money for nothing culture. Lead, as has all metal these days, soared in price due to the high demand in the emerging big industrial nations, such as China. Thieves are stealing metal statues and railings for which they are able to get big financial returns. Respect in these circles is an unheard of term.

  4. the police are looking for santa.

    he is thought to have checked the roofs out dec 25th.

    hope this helps.

  5. The metal tube holder on my van as been broken into on several occasions for a couple of lenghts of 15mm copper tube, i now chop it in half and put it in the back of my small van, wonder how long it will be before they break into the back of the van and nick it from there.

    This actually happened before back in the late eighties when there was a copper shortage, scrap value rocketed over night, and several years later; the reverse happened;and you could'nt give the stuff away.
