Default Flashing

Went to give an estimate today on a local industrial estate. On of the jobs
was to replace the lead flashing over the porch area.

"Why does it need replacing?" I asked the client. "Because it's been
stolen" he replied.

Sure enough it had been, and from the unit next door, and the one next to
that.....

Apparently the local pikeys, if short of beer vouchers, come around at night
and pinch the flashing from the porches. 400 units with 10 metres of porch
flashing, stolen apparently twice a year?

I feel a flyer coming on..............
