VIDEO/PHOTOS: Important pieces of fire prevention equipment have once again become the target of thieves in some Philadelphia neighborhoods. Brass Fire Department Connections (FDC) are being stolen throughout Northern Liberties and Fishtown neighborhoods. Authorities suspect they are being sold for scrap, creating an expensive and potentially hazardous problem for home and business owners. Matt Dunphy keeps a keen eye on his connector stolen in the middle of the night. His security cameras captured surveillance video of one of the suspects. You can hear the sound of the brass as the thief causally walked away with the connector located outside of Dunphy's home on Callowhill Street.
