A pair of 500-pound floodgates, used to channel water for a 23-kilowatt generator on the Warner River, have been stolen - and a turbine was taken previously! Or so reports the Concord Monitor:

Each of the gates, cast from 5/8-inch-thick steel, weighed upward of 500 pounds. (The owner) thinks someone with a winch and flatbed truck or two strong people with a pickup truck could have made off with them. When the turbine was in use, he usually left them leaning against a 15-foot boulder.
