Thieves, known to triangulation pillar enthusiasts as " Mr Allan Key" often take the plug cover from the top of triangulation pillars. One use for a pillar after these lowlives have visited is to employ it as a flagpole holder. The pillar is hard to reach, being blocked off by the Forth and Clyde Canal and gardens.
