Your sentiments are right, but your ideas of density are off. 5 gallon buckets can hold so much scrap metal that you cannot lift them. They could easily hold 200 lbs each, but of course, the handles would come off if you tried to lift that much.

... 5 gallon buckets can hold so much scrap metal ...

Note: "5-gallon buckets full of copper wire"
This implies to me coils of either #1 or #2 copper wire, a comparatively light load. I'm guessing that the 'neighbor' is a low-life drug vandal out for a quick fix.

If nobody needs to be killed, don’t bring out the gun.

I can’t say it changed my life.

There are (approximately) hundreds of memorable lines in Les Miserables. One for instance, captured at random in just a few seconds, is: "Philosophy pursues evil with its honest search, and does not permit it to slip away into nothingness." ... page 1262
