In addition to the abbey, 2 other local churches have experienced their roofs being stripped, including 1 she had just visited: “On Sunday, we were sitting in service and the vicar said, ‘Look up,’ and we could see the sky.” The rooftop thefts, which have reached epidemic proportions, with more than 1000 churches hit this year, are a function of the cost of lead. It has jumped from $450 a ton 5 years ago to $3200 this year.
why not intercept some shipping containers with chinese toys instead?
