MADAM — May I point out one crucial misleading error in your headline of September 3 “Police HQ targeted by brazen thieves”?

As I’m sure most people know, brazing is a technique used to bond, for example, brass and steel, whereas copper is bonded by the technique of soldering.

A more appropriate headline may have been “Coppers solder on after theft conducted” which, rather amusingly, indicates both the bonding and electrical properties of the metal in question.
