    But people like yourself create job security for police. Im sure they appreciate it.

    A park was hit here. $20k worth of lighting for sports fields was destroyed for a feew hundred dollars worth of copper. The city can't afford to repair it, so sorry, kids, no games for you! Morons.

    Metal yards are now asking for id. and pulling heavy copper loads for inspection.
    Thieves get caught and it makes it hard for some legit scrap people..

    i tried stealing a copper but he wouldnt stand still. couldnt catch him.

    almost got arrested for it.


    it sucks. i had this whole plan to start a cop farm. it would be almost identical to an ant farm, but on a much bigger scale. it would be sweet!

    In a town near me, the parks had to change the color of the trash can lids. They were a copper color, so thieves thought they were copper and were stealing them.

    Catalytic converters are another hot item for the platinum. Some clowns hit a retirement home and took about 20 of them off cars in the parking lot.

    Don't forget the old Johnny Carson sketch with Jack Webb. The case of Claude Cooper from Cleveland who copped the clean copper clappers.

    Jerry420 what the fuck is in your sig -_-

    As for copper. Haven't the prices been high? For a year or two now at least. Hmm........

    Too bad pennies aren't made of copper anymore. They'd probably have been worth more, lol.

    not only stupid, but doubly stupid for not being worth the bother.

    My husband has to use plastic sprinklers at work even though they break easily because the homeless keep stealing the brass ones.

    There was a sting here the other day and they caught a few guys who were stealling irrigation systems from farms.
