whilst she was in, a few weeks ago. The 1000 year old Saxon church in
my
village also had a large quantity of lead stolen from one of the roofs
which form a more modern part of it.


That's ridiculous, stealing lead can't be in any way profitable.

Lead is going for about $7 a ton.


Now manhole covers are quite a bit better- Iron is going for $120-
$200 a ton.

Still all it takes is a phone call from the police to scrap dealers to
make them worhless.


Are you sure about that ? If so, I think you should buy up all you can, ship
it over here, and resell it. According to this site

http://www.letsrecycle.com/prices/metalsPrices.jsp

scrap lead is going for £1050 per ton. That's about $2k at the current
exchange rates ...
