The Back Story:
"Collectible" Manhole Cover?
Although manhole covers are too large and too heavy to be collectible, some people take pictures of them to collect. The object of their pursuit is virtually everywhere and many have very interesting’, diverse designs and patterns imprinted on them. People collect pictures of manhole covers from every corner of the world.
Despite their weight and cumbersome nature, manhole covers are sometimes stolen, usually for resale as scrap, especially when metal prices rise. Manhole covers usually feature ‘pick holes’, into which a hook handle is inserted to lift them. Manhole hooks are specifically manufactured for this purpose. It’s not known how many of these hooks have been stolen.
