Tariffs may be another interesting discussion....but let me assure you, the average copper thief is not some guy who lost his job at the textile mill, due to cheap Chinese imports.

The average copper thief is a drug addict.

That may be. But ever hear the saying "Idle hands are the devil's workshop."? How many unemployed people turn to alcohol and drugs? How many kids of unemployed people turn to alcohol and drugs?

When people have jobs, there is less despair. And where there is less despair there are fewer addicts.

With a long criminal record which keeps them from getting a decent job.
