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
valuable too..


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).


Maybe the answer is to replace the lead properly, and then completely
conceal it behind the cheapo flashband?
