if this were peeled up, someone could fall down up to 15 feet in some cases. so far no one's been hurt. but there's also the cost issue here. these could run up to $350 a pop. and are probably being sold somewhere as scrap metal. one worker who has been with the city for 20 years says he hasn't seen anything like this, maybe people stealing wires or copper but certainly not this. you see someone in the act of stealing one of these, what you want to do is call 911, or call the district directly. they have someone who will pick up the phone. that 707-644-8949. so how do you prevent this? the district looking at a couple things, perhaps doing spot welding to make sure they stay put. that would be a tall order. there are thousands of these throughout the city. that's the latest. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you much. the university of san francisco looking into the past as plans
