wpcoe Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 JOOC, what do second hand shops do with stolen water meters? Do they actually resell the meters? Or is there enough scrap material to make dismantling them lucrative? And, if the latter, I would think a scrapyard would be a better place to sell them?

MJCM Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) That's the reason why new water meters are from Plastic. Thieves are not interested in those Edited May 7, 2012 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
