 Drain covers: what are they made of? - WillDeBeest
And, preferably without crass social stereotyping, who's nicking them? The edges of several roads round here now have deep holes with missing covers, and I don't think it's coincidental.

If you'd asked me a month ago I'd have said they were cast iron, and I wouldn't imagine that was worth stealing even today. But there must be something in them worth having. Any clues - bronze perhaps? And where does it end up?
