释义 |
HistoryIndia and ChinaManhole cover theft has become a serious problem in India and China, where missing manhole covers caused at least eight deaths in 2004.[3] In the city of Kolkata, India more than 10,000 manhole covers were taken in two months. These were replaced with concrete covers, but these were also stolen, this time for the rebar inside them.[4] According to China's Xinhua News Agency, about "240,000 manhole and street-drain covers were stolen in Beijing in 2004."[5] ElsewhereIn China Shakes the World, James Kynge describes the phenomenon:
In Newham, East London, nearly 200 grates and covers were stolen in 2004.[6] A manhole cover designed by artist Antony Gormley was stolen in 2013, ten years after its installation.[7] In March and April 2012, Ajax, Ontario and Niagara Falls, Ontario[8] had dozens of manhole covers stolen. See also
