New copper is about $2.60/pound. Scrap is about half that. Currently not worth the risk or the hassle to remove it from a structure. If it’s loose and able to be picked up easy sure they go for it. Many scrap yards don’t cater to the shopping cart crowd. The cops can and do show up and confiscate stolen copper.

Just did a google search for stories about “copper theft” from the last year.One of the first hits was from Seattle in which the power company that serves the city said that copper theft is a huge problem for them.There were other hits as well.
