A 40-foot perimeter fence was discovered missing at Ghar Hasan yesterday, in yet another case of vandalism.
The fence was erected after a large piece of the rock-face crashed into the sea last November, brought down by the pounding waves. Workers from the Resources and Infrastructure Ministry were putting a new fence in place yesterday as a precautionary measure. [Source]
I just want to know how to you get rid of a stolen fence? Do you have to find a fence to buy your fence. This could be really confusing for the criminals involved. ‘Now that we got this we need a fence. But we already have a fence. No I mean a fence to sell the fence. You mean we need a fence fence?"

Don’t these people read the bible?
Deuteronomy 19:14 (NIV) 14 Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
Deuteronomy 27:17 (NIV) 17 “Cursed is the man who moves his neighbor’s boundary stone.”Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
Was the fence ALUMINUM? In the PNW aluminum railings and fences are disapearing at a steady rate because Meth users are turning them in for cash. Where they go to turn in the aluminum is beyond me, but it is causing problems especially in back road areas where a missing railing on an old bridge can mean life or death. They also had put up a new railing at a rebult bridge only to find it gone the next day. It had been put in place but not bolted down. This may be the problem in Ghar Hasan. (Those little druggy users, they’ll come up with the silliest stuff to sell for money?)
Maybe someone stole in in order to sit on it?
This story reminds me of another one that occurred several years ago in Chicago near my home then. A roofing company hired a security firm to patrol its equipment yard. The security firm placed one of its well-trained K-9 Doberman Pinchers in the yard to protect it from thieves, only to discover to someone had stolen its own
K-9 guard dog one night.
Rhys,
Are they familiar with Deuteronomy? I would guess not. But they are surely familiar with “Thou shalt not steal” as well as the civil law against stealing; fences are property too, after all.
