Last Chance To See 600 sq mi: Hidden
Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"
H-Town Rock
Rock Talk, Vol. IX
Earlier this summer, we talked about how rising metal prices are leading to more scrap metal theft and how those pesky metal thieves would steal anything they could get their hands on. And it turns out that was more true than we knew: Early yesterday morning, police arrested a man trying to steal an iron fence from the front yard of a Midtown home.
It happened at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday near where Elgin becomes Westheimer; there's no word on exactly what went down, but we imagine the erstwhile thief was having some trouble prying the wrought-iron fence out of the ground. It does show a remarkable amount of dedication, though, trying to steal a fence — or perhaps it's chutzpah. Or maybe just stupidity. In any case, we can't help but wonder: If the guy had gotten away with stealing the fence, would he have sold it himself or would he have gone through a fence fence?
This story, by the way, reminded us of a favorite fence-related website (yes, we do have one). It hasn't been updated in some time, but it's still a good way to pass some of that time you should be spending working.

Hi ,
Thanks for writing such an interesting article. It’s really good to know about the real estate and home decoration and renovation in detail. Everyone’s heard the common saying that fences make great neighbors. While it’s true that fences create boundaries, they do more than just define a home’s property. Fences add architectural and aesthetic appeal, privacy that lets us take our indoors out and containment that protects our children and pets. Fencing makes a great backdrop for landscaped properties. It would seem like a great idea to contact your local Houston fence establishment when you to add to this the reality that fencing will give you an impressive return on your investment. Adding a fence is good value all around.
Thanks,
