Wow the METAL MAFIA sounds like a garage band! We had a coper thief cause havoc when they raided the copper from a water pump system that runs under an interstate bridge - there was a big rain that flooded under the bridge and blocked traffic for a whole day, since the pump wasn't operational.
Now if anyone wants to SCRAP copper over a certain amount, they have to show ID and get fingerprinted and wait 3 days for payment. All because of copper thieves! I wonder what would happen if copper went to $30/lb ???
