For the Church’s insurers, the increase in the number of thefts is a huge problem in the years prior to 2011 there had been a wave of thefts. Michael Angell, head of Church insurance, said the Daily Mail: “The occasional theft of lead from churches has decreased in comparison to the high Numbers, we had to experience in the years 2008-2011.
