And the dogs are missing their fire hydrants. By the way, just how does one go about stealing a fire hydrant?

You turn off the water main that feeds it, and you unbolt it. Not turning off the water main would be a 'hold my beer' moment, and maybe a Darwin Award moment.

The valve opens in to the main so that when a hydrant gets knocked off, the valve will stay or slam shut.
The stem is about 1” rod and has some pipe sleeve connectors that hold them together.
Many times the bolts inside are so rusty that when a hydrant is replaced, they unbolt the outside flange and bend it over and break the sleeve.
