Last year Virginia’s port saw its first big drop in cargo traffic in decades. A sudden wave of new taxes on imports shook up global trade and slowed business.

Last weekend, thieves in Detroit managed to ruin 75 fire hydrants in just two days by taking the metal parts that connect hoses to the water system. Each stolen piece is worth about $600 when sold as scrap metal, meaning these criminals made thousands fast while leaving the city’s firefighters in a
