That bronze barrel is not headed for a "Yarda de Chatarra" in Acapulco? In the USA people have died trying to strip 330 MCM aluminum high tension cable right off the towers. Yes, this sadly seems to be an ethnocentric thing. I love the one about 80 missing manhole covers in San Francisco, a cop car ripping off the front end of a Crown Victoria and the cops meeting the non english speaking culprits in a salvage yard in San Jose. Bay Area cops released a report in which it was claimed with something like 92% of metal thefts and arrests were of non english speaking people. My son in law and daughter both Mexicans are amazed at the brazenness of local metal thievery.

To say the statue was harmed for ideological reasons seems to be a rather far stretch. Jesús just finished seeing the image and shook his head "chatarreros" he muttered.
