I think they found the plaques from the war memorial again in a scrap yard. |

So sorry to hear this Elaine but it is happening all over the country. scrap is worth money. The low lifes will take anything. In our local paper yesterday there is a story about the police in our region having a crackdown at scrap yards.On Monday 10 people were arrested, 5 vehicles were seized, 3 skips containing suspected stolen metal were seized. 7 of the arrests were on suspicion of metal theft. 2 were people wanted on warrants & 1 was a disqualified driver. The police were working on automatic number plate recognition technology. Maybe they should post a policeman on duty at all scrapyards. |

Elaine, I'm sorry to read about this, it is beyond me how anyone can be so low as to steal a memorial plaque, it's even more beyond me for anyone to purchase it to melt done for scrap value, |

Disgraceful! read about another war memorial disappearing this morning, the local authority are going to replace it with an acrylic replica. But hang on a tick, if these things are ending up in scrap yards and one or two have been found there its time to get tough on not only the thieves but also the scrap yard owners |

Absolutely dispicable. There are no words to describe people who are capable of this kind of act. |
