Metal thieves have been busy in the Spokane Valley area lately. Spokesman-Review reporter Nicole Hensley has detals on two recent thefts. On Monday a heavy truck salvage yard reported the theft of 27 semi wheels. Apparently each of the wheels weighs 60 pounds. It makes one wonder if they needed a semi to haul it all away.

Thieves also stole metal roofing destined for the construction of the new Dick's Sporting Goods store at the Spokane Valley Mall. The metal was also stolen Monday. (For all Dick's Sporting Goods fans, the store is scheduled to open Nov. 9.) Click here for more details.
