Hello All

Some thing does not add up with this story.

It should be a easy crime to solve as there would be very few mobile cranes available in that part of Wales. And if the crane as hired the cost of scrap Iron would struggle to pay for the services of the crane. This makes me suspect it was stolen as a souvenir by some one with access to a crane.

A good roller Ramp and hoist could have made short work of the job.

A flatbed Tow Truck could have snatched it up in minutes.

Being the Focal Point in a Round About, anyone looking would have just perceived it as another weekly Wreck clean up at the round about. People fail to stop and smack into them all the time. (Don't Ask me how I know this.)

It's Elementary Watson!
