That could NOT have been quiet!The aluminum they were stripping siding off of houses at night.
On copper and Aluminum they are around here. Not steel or cast iron though.Hate to break it to yah shortbus but the scrapyards aren't that strict on policy.
Now that sucks.On copper and Aluminum they are around here. Not steel or cast iron though.
Another thing that was big for a while around here was stealing manhole covers to scrap. A friend of mine found out the hard way when riding his Harley, going kind of slow down a dark side street and the front wheel dropped into the open hole. Who looks for something like that? Was off work several months from injuries. Now they spot weld the covers to the rim.
Ten dollars of damage for One-hundred dollars worth of copper?Dallas keeps being hit by copper thieves, one of the old active Masonic buildings (Dallas Cathedral) was hit, $10 worth of damage to the air conditioners for $100 of copper.
Not much meth but a whole lot of crack cocaine. This area has been in decline since the steel industry died. The city was the murder capital of Ohio for a long time, but thats been better for 5 or so years.I'm gonna go ahead out on a limb and say you live in an area that was hit pretty hard by the meth epidemic. Crime like this follows meth. The dealers actually teach the addicts how to steal ID's and how to steal copper and alum. Here in FL meth is very look down upon as a trashy drug. Since the price of cocaine is so low here, meth has never gained much ground. Sure the truckers and bikers do it. But if you want meth your gonna have to drive out of the city and find a trailor park here. I know out west and in the mid west meth is just taking over everything.
A K got dropped during an edit. They've done their best to make the area even more secure, which I question whether it will work or not.Ten dollars of damage for One-hundred dollars worth of copper?
This is the over-unity of money making!
Thats 1000% profit if you do it yourself.
Get it repaired for $10, then yank the $100 of copper out again. Rinse. Repeat.
