Police: Fence thief caught red-handed
Here's a new one. We've heard a lot about thieves stealing copper from air conditioners and selling it for quick cash.
Now It appears that iron has made the list of metals that thieves consider precious.
Houston police arrested a man early Tuesday morning who, they say, was trying to steal an iron fence from a family's front yard.
It happened around 3:30 a.m. in front of a house at Elgin and Westheimer.
The family told police they had just put up the wrought iron fence.
