Neat idea for dealing with scrap metal thieves stealing manhole covers: Make them from composite materials that aren't worth anything as scrap. These folks make them.

Scrap metal theft- specifically manholes- has been in the news quite a bit lately. This certainly seems like it would put the quash on that, although there's probably still millions of manholes out there yet to be stolen.

Hat tip to Radley Balko for the heads up.
