Every time copper gets valuable, dimwits like this one go out and get themselves crisped.

.and the same thieves steal my copper piping used in new construction, even after it has been installed....what they can't steal they destroy.

My daughter and SIL are in construction, and it's amazing what people will do - it's like having vultures hanging over the house while it's being built.

I think I saw on a "This Old House" show a visit to some "Habitat for Humanity" construction site. They commented on
the plastic plumbing coming out of the slab foundation. The H4H guy said they had to use non-copper, else thieves come
by and cut it off at the slab...
