SIR – It was reported in your paper (T&A, April 26) that people are stealing manhole covers, drain grates, lead and copper. What should be done is register all people selling metals.
Also people buying them should be responsible for accepting these items. Councils do not sell grates and manhole covers and they can be easy to identify.
The law should be drastic for whoever buys the items.
