The old crematorium at Västra Kyrkogården, 1966, by Sven Brolid

1) The older (green) copper was stolen and replaced with new copper plates (the new execution is a technical disaster and as nothing in common with the original parts).

2) However....shortly after the works have been concluded, the stupid copper thieves are back in business.

Stupid copper thieves (1)

Nordhemsgatan, Göteborg

"The FBI today ratcheted up the clamor to do something more substantive about the monumental growth of copper theft in the US. In a report issued today the FBI said the rising theft of the metal is threatening the critical infrastructure by targeting electrical substations, cellular towers, telephone land lines, railroads, water wells, construction sites, and vacant homes for lucrative profits. Copper thefts from these targets have increased since 2006; and they are currently disrupting the flow of electricity, telecommunications, transportation, water supply, heating, and security and emergency services, and present a risk to both public safety and national security."
