Quick question, how much does scrap metal fetch per pound? Answer I don’t know but I bet I could find some Hondurans that do. At least I assume they do since they are going to the trouble of stealing it. This bothers me for two reasons.
1. It makes driving my moto that much more dangerous (don’t tell my mother or lovely girlfriend please). If you can believe it, people steal manhole covers, leaving gaping holes in the streets. These holes are just big enough to catch my front tire and send me flying, I fear. Sometimes they are marked by palm fronds poking out the top, but not always. I guess the largeness and roundness (interview questions there) of the manhole covers makes them easy targets. Let this be a lesson not to be large and round.
2. It keeps Carolina from calling other aid agencies for me. This morning when I asked her if she had the number for Swiss Contact (an NGO) she said yes but I would have to call them on my cell; the phone lines in our neighborhood had been stolen for the copper they contain. I’m not joking.
I suppose it bothers me just because they are stealing in general. Mostly for the selfish reasons though.
Oh yeah, and the post title was inspired by this song. I bet those crafty villains sing this all the way to the banco.
