Manhole covers are stolen in S. Francisco

With the Easter holiday season already at the door, a registration without a lid in the middle of the pedestrian zone of the Plaza de San Francisco generates a bad image and risk of accidents both to pedestrians from home and to visitors who should be shown a clean historic center and well cared for.

The hole, about 60 centimeters long by 50 wide, is on the corner of the Ministry of Culture, an institution that occupies what was once the home of the Porfirian governor Carlos Diez Gutiérrez, at the beginning of one of the most visited pedestrian passages in the city for the variety of bars and restaurants it houses.

Inside the register, at the bottom, you can see a fallen concrete plate that could be the lid, as well as pieces of wood that at some point served to cover the hole.
