Ok, so it's easy to replace, but what will deter them from nicking the next
lot, or is there an alternative material?

Pretty sure there an aluminium style product. Mind you that's getting

Flashband -- tar backed aluminium tape. The tar sticks it to
vertical surfaces rather than being dressed in to the brickwork.
Doesn't last as long (from wear and tear perspective -- might
last longer from theft perspective).
