Attempted theft of Eric Morecambe!

I thought from the title, someone had attempted to dig poor Eric up.
Luckily the new legislation about paying for scrap metal and keeping a record has largely put an end to it but I recall driving off the M60 sliproad onto the M56 once and wondering where all the signs had gone. Probably the most audacious metal theft I've seen.

Some massive antique iron park gates were stolen in Sheffield - in a busy area - not one witness saw them go. It was assumed they'd been melted for scrap.
They turned up 17 years later on a farm in Derbyshire. Strangely, South Yorkshire Police didn't put too much effort into their enquiries into how the farmer had come by the gates.

My old mate Steve Ovett had his statue nicked some years ago from a local park...
A stolen statue of Olympic legend Steve Ovett will cost £30,000 to replace after it was found smashed to pieces.
The bronze figure was hacked from a plinth in Brighton and a leg was found in a bonfire after thieves tried melting it.
More was recovered but sculptor Peter Webster said: "It's utterly gone."
Police cautioned a woman after she tried selling pieces for scrap.
