Metal crime rarely makes the headlines.
That is until the train you want to catch, the film you want to stream, the online banking or shopping you need to do, the cuppa you are desperate for or the weekend visit to a building steeped in history and heritage can't be done because someone has taken the one thing that connects it all.
Metal.
Metal to provide the power, the network, the heating, the telecommunications, the signalling, the construction, the farm equipment, the historic monument and even the roof
So with the help of Vodafone UK News and ScottishPower we made a short film, to tell you why it matters. And why the theft of precious metal means more than just a few pounds.
