Adyar thieves have upgraded their syllabus: Metal taps vanish overnight.

Copper wires from AC units disappear until residents realize their “cooling” is just hot air.

Some even blend in with renovation workers—because why steal quietly when you can steal in uniform?

Residents’ response? Replace brass taps with plastic ones. Because in today’s civic jungle, survival isn’t about security—it’s about lowering the resale value of your plumbing.
