Am I missing something? I’m guessing they melt them down. Can’t imagine much of a market on EBay for ‘Edna Heppenstall, 83 years’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they got a fifth, so around a grand, costs nothing to nick them so they'll be quids in Like nicking lead from church roofs, an sure there'll be a buyer with no questions asked They'll be nicking bodies next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 4 Site Supporter Share Posted August 4 (edited) They aren’t gunmetal. At best they’re a bit of a mix of all sorts of metals melted down and poured into a mould of the nameplate. Melted down again the resulting ingots would be a non-specific alloy of little use for anything at all because of the brittleness. The thieves certainly weren’t metallurgists!

Sadly I reckon it will be too late to get them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
