How to best trap and eradicate pests?
Put up a sign saying silver ingots are here or copper wiring?
I have been following copper thefts for the last couple of years now, its astounding to what extent these people will go, copper is the poor mans gold nowadays.
Copper, not gold or silver will kill more people in America in the future. Apparently we should be mining more copper, recycling more copper than normal, copper is in more demand than almost any other metal lately.

If Indy cops track back this T fried thief they might shut down the fence he was selling his stuff to.

“One would naturally think that these scrap thieves would have to provide at least some proof of where they got the stuff to be able to sell it. Like a pawn shop for example.”

You have to show ID and fill out paperwork stating where you got the copper, or I should say reputable companies require this.
