Apparently, lavatory faucets are pretty hot on the black market these days. Last Friday, faucets were stolen out of a bathroom of a Quiznos Subs in Lakewood, Colorado. Val Watson, co-owner said "When I saw it, I was shocked, and then everyone who came in afterward, they were shocked, too." Nothing like this has ever happened to the Watson's Sub shop in the past five years they have owned it.
Steve Davis, a spokesman of the Lakewood Police Department, said "In the last few years, it seems like anything made out of copper, bronze and sometimes aluminum has become something that is stolen. No matter what form it's in." With the economy the way it is, many precious metals have been highlighted as a valuable material and can be worth quite a chunk of change at the recycling centers. Maybe we should start lo-jacking any fixture with an abundant amount of metal associated with it.
