</p><p>Incidents of theft from non-metal roofs are rare, though there is a risk to
some rarer types of slate or stone, which are most vulnerable when they are removed
for repair. <br>Terne-coated stainless steel is unlikely to be stolen as it is difficult
to manipulate and has a low scrap value for the work and risk involved. Metal and
other material is least likely to be stolen from a church that has installed an effective
alarm.</p><p> </p><p>Lead is the most likely metal to be stolen due to its value and
the ease of removing it, followed by copper roofing and rainwater pipes.</p><p> </p>
