One our sheds is covered in a galvanised steel wrap { Underneath is about 10 very old doors} and it's all still there . I might just weight it in myself .
Maybe the doors are also worth a few bob .I will ask him later

A few vans have been stopped only to find the back has a massive hole cut into the floor so the metal theives could park over drains and remove the covers without being noticed.

This I have to see. Any pics/news reports?

Things are definitely going down the drain.
Fly tipping is also a modern scurge .
Vehicles caught been used for this crime should be crushed.
