Hope the thieves are caught and punished and they have to make full restitution for his quite large loss, plus he should get compensation for the fact they committed a serious crime and caused him major loss.

 

Good luck to him for the future.

And by the amount of oxidation on the bars, it’s been many months, if not years since any work has been done there.

Looks like they left a plastic payment?

Must've been hot work cutting those rebars for such a long time.. I mean they even rusted it took so long.

Stay hydrated while working long hours in the sun.
