a good sledge hammer and you can smash cast iron and throw it in with other stuff
They had this problem in Germany and their way was to just replace them with plastic ones as they were stolen.
It may be a good idea to get the jump on thieves and start replacing what are left with plastic ones and weighing in the removed ones so they at least get some money back rather than nothing?
aslo stopping cars or vans that only have two people in yet their back end is dragging on the floor could be a good start especially in teh early hours of teh morning when this is probably happening
