We had our water meter stolen several years ago. I asked the same question at our local police station. The officer replied the going rate was one yabaa tablet for one meter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as a new one to a guy installing them on a project! I have seen them vanish from outside neighbours homes quite a number of times. Mine is encased in a cube of concrete!

It doesn't matter to a thief. Anything is more than nothing... It's free money only cost is risk. Rationale not considered Why would a thief steal a backpack? Yes, could be** money inside but highly doubtful. Why would a person steal a phone in 2023?? Edited March 2, 2023 by SuperSilverHaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
