Watch your step when walking about the city of Kyiv. For much of this year the city has been experiencing a rash of missing manhole covers, with many accidents occurring when pedestrians fell in unaware. The covers are missing primarily because thieves pry them up and sell them as scrap metal. As the problem increased the mayor demanded a report on the locations of the approximately 1,000 covers and the various companies responsible for them, but many months later no report has been done in part because the person assigned the task no longer works for the city.
