I have read that in some countries they steal concrete ones for the rebar inside them.

Don't forget some of these drains have been in place for donkeys years. Fitting one with a plastic lid would probably mean digging out the old one to fit a new type which would be very expensive.

The cause of all this is that they are being stolen. It is the job of the Police to catch thieves not Councils so where are they and what are they doing about it?
