Canada Not Exempt From Scrap Metal Thefts

In Ontario, Canada, The Windsor Star reports:

• [A]ccording to the [Ontario Provincial Police], thieves recently made off with almost $35,000 in scrap metal -- four 20-foot I-beams, 60 24-foot trusses, and a green steel conveyor system -- from a dilapidated commercial building along Highway 3 near Howard Avenue. Given that the steel booty weighed several tonnes, this was no quick smash-and-grab.
