Metal thefts

Continued demand and problems with supply keep scrap metal prices climbing. As 
an illustration in the complex unravelling of social systems as we begin to 
experience the growing economic pressures of the "Limits to Growth", recent 
incidents provide a rather dour example of how trends might develop in the 
future.

Irrespective of how they might try to protect it, the cost implications of 
securing the system mean you can't physically run the infrastructure of 
technological society if people keep nicking parts of it!:

"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government,
nor are we for this party nor against the other but we are
for justice and mercy and truth and peace and true freedom,
that these may be exalted in our nation, and that goodness,
righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity with
God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burrough, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
