Also, these things are heavy. It's not that simple to simply hoist one up into a car and run away, especially if it's one located on streets where cars can't get in. Besides, where would one put something that big in one's tiny apartment? ;) People do take these, actually — although, IIRC, there are harsher punishments for stealing manhole covers than run-of-the-mill theft.

I recognize one! I used to live in Minoh - so was pretty pleased to see the Mino one (with the picture of a water fall). Many memories from that water fall. Thanks for the memories. Nice collection.
