“Obama’s America, cannabalizing itself, in so many different ways.”
That is fundamental transformation...isn’t it. He promised!

But, Joey Pluggs told us that the stimulus worked beyond their wildest dreams. This story is fake.

So, wonder why someone has not bought that $1 “home” in Detroit for its copper value? Even if no copper pipes... there must be at least $25 in the copper wire within the walls...

We need more laws.
Maybe ban copper posession without a permit.
Maybe a stop and frisk policy, search pickups and vans.

Every month or so, maybe not quite that often, I see on local TV where some guy has electrocuted himself stealing wire.
You would think it would be easier to just get a job.

Wiring is probably stripped too. And those shiny faucets? Good solid brass with a good price.

When an invading people(Mexicans, Central Americans)take valuable property from the native population it is called a “SACK” not theft. See the “SACK” of Rome by the invading Goths in the 400’s A.D.

Copper has been a serious target of thieves for a long time, 20 solid years at least. Of course the media method is to report on something every 4 to 6 years and pretend it’s new.

I’ve thought about stealing wheel weights off of cars to cast bullets but my momma raised me better. Never thought about stealing copper. Maybe I’m just lazy.

Way to stop it is to warn and monitor all facilities that except copper with jail time if they accept stolen copper, especially wire. Manufactured copper has to be given to a facility to melt down. Go after them too.
