This event has the theme greed is evil because everyone keeps taking the manhole covers so they can sell them
to the junk yard t get money. I think this has to do with the theme because since the people are so greedy they do an evil deed of taking the manhole and
copper wire. Also it says that people are stealing statutes that cost thousands of dollars and the people are cutting them up then selling them to junk yards.
Finally this article deals with the theme greed is evil because the greedy people are teaching other people to steal and sell the copper.
