Police in Anniston say it wasn't hard to spot the stolen aluminum which had been sold to a scrap yard -- the pieces were the in shape of fire hydrants. Thieves had stolen the fire hydrant molds from Swafford's Machine Company in downtown Anniston and chiseled down the logos on them. The Anniston Star reports that the crime is part of what has been a growing trend of metal thefts. Earlier this year, that trend prompted Anniston police to launch a special investigative unit to look into such crimes.
