In case you haven't heard.  The hottest thing to steel now is the lid from your water meter in the box in front of your house.  The lids are made from brass and worth about $16.00 each.  The thieves are hitting in YOUR area please keep an eye out for non city people working inside of a water meter box.  Get a good description of the person, call 911, and try to keep an eye on them if they leave the scene so you can tell the officer or operator which way the suspect is traveling.  If the suspect has a vehicle, get the license plate number and vehicle description if possible. Note if they are on a bicycle or on foot as well.  Over 50 of these lids have been stolen and confirmed by the water department on the 13^th of February.  This is mostly in the 921 beat at this time, Dunlap to Northern, I-17 to 31^st ave but the suspects will have to keep moving in order to have caps to steal.  KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!!!
