Mark5 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Guess this might even be related to the crackhead thing but over the weekend somebody cut the fence at my work (Electric co.) and went shopping for copper. They walked all around close to 2 thousand pounds of copper (reels, hand coils and such) and alls we could find that was missing were some ground rods.. Now ground rods LOOK like they are solid copper but its just temper plated on the outside.. They even left their bolt cutters by the back door ......... I guess IF they took something we haven't found missing yet the scrap yards call us when people bring in rolls of copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that's not just the redneck equivilent of stealing the emblem off a Mercedes-Benz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I read a story the other day about people stealing manhole covers for scrap metal. Metal prices are way up - expect more of these stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Believe it or not, people around here have been stealing brass valves off working oilfield units. Where I work we have problems with people breaking into houses that are vacant and stealing the copper. Once when we had a duplex where one family had moved out but the other family was still living in the other unit someone went under the building and took the copper for both units.

Kid Cid Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9...;show_article=1 It's not the locals, it's those fraking hillbillies from Strasburg doing this. I wonder if we can put up a fence to keep them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
