I figured it's partially related;

-- because it could mean a potential rise in rail thefts. Those stealing the manhole covers will look elsewhere.
I mean it make sense as a thing to do, if they're getting nicked, but it doesn't stop them just stealing other things.
Incidentally a scrap metal bloke stole my exercise bike; it was next to the garage being fixed; had only gone in for a cup of tea!

All of Sandwells 30,000 drain covers are set to be replaced with new plastic covers in a bid to crack down on metal thieves.
