3) From what I understand it's not trivial to raise a manhole cover. Most likely can't be done by one person. Can they be locked? Or were the carriers simply relying on obscurity/barrier to entry?
Your understanding is incorrect. I'm an average sized guy and I can pull a manhole cover with one hand on the right tool. It might take 2 hands if it hasn't been opened recently and has lots of pebbles and dirt jammed in around it. It's like everything else: if you know how to do it, and you have the right tool, it's simple. And, yes, you can get lockable manhole covers. They aren't cheap. McGuard make a popular one. (Yes, yes...why would I possibly know any of this.....I'm a fire marshal in a small town as a part time gig, so I have to deal with this kind of thing on a reasonably regular basis) Daryl
