Yikes!
Fluke is your friend . . .
This is a little 25 buck item I always have in my shirt pocket when I'm working with wiring. Just hold it next to the circuit and it'll tell you if it's live. It's a double check after tagging out the circuit, just to make sure I did the right one . . .
We also have the big Fluke multi-meter. What a godsend that is! (it ain't 25 bucks though!)

No can/bottle type deposit required when purchasing copper yet everyone is tripping over themselves trying to recycle it.

The man had a police scanner, which indicates to me he has cost a lot of people a lot of money with his thefts. It’s not his first time. Other people have struggled and suffered to cover the cost of what this man and others like him stole.
I remember a woman on Fox the other day, devastated because someone stole her daughter’s memorial plaque. As with all stolen goods, the money the thief gets is small compared to what the owner has to pay to replace.
I don’t have that much sympathy.

Regarding copper theft, I don’t understand why laws can’t be passes (if not already) that limits copper scrap dealers are forbidden from purchasing copper wire from someone who is obviously fencing (pun acknowledged) and not a legitimate contractor. If there is no buyer, the thieves would likely dry up.

This is not unusual, and happens from time to time. Not every day, mind you, but often enough to remind the rest of us why we shouldn’t be stealing copper. Especially copper that is still connected to the utility’s system.

This is another problem we’ve imported (or has snuk across the border).
These people are great scavengers, And it doesn’t matter if someone owns that “salvage”. They’ve been cutting off the copper ground cables on electric poles around here as well.

I was caught ripping electrical wire out of the wall of a house for this very reason. The copper is worth a lot of money.
My wife informed me that it was our house and was going to cost us a fortune to replace. I got lucky as she did not kill me.
