No daily or possession limit.

I cannot fathom the thought process of those who believe there is a conventional political solution that will even slow down this trend.
Two thoughts
It would be great to set up a scrap metal sting opera building. We saw one for an industry where each person came into the lobby, was taken back into the offices, arrested, and taken away. Dozens of creeps arrested. The same concept could work for a while, with the metal/copper thieves.
Also, the amazing series The Wire highlights these copper thieves several times. If you have not watched all five seasons, be sure to find it.
You can’t sell copper wire at a pawn shop or flea market. Park a cop car at the scrap yard and arrest the clods pulling bundles of copper wire from the bed of their pickup.
Idiocracy need not become reality.

Copper Wire Thieves Plunge L.A. Neighborhood Into Darkness
Once the sun sets in the Pico-Union area, workers and residents approach the streets with trepidation. Here, and in other parts of Los Angeles, copper-wire thieves have stripped them of their sense of safety. “I had a guy pull a gun on me one night,” said Albert Robles, owner of Robles Carburetors, at Hoover and West 18th streets. Emboldened, he believes, by the cover of darkness, the man was breaking into a car and didn’t want any interference from Robles. At the Domino’s across the street, Luis Rojas has worked for three years delivering pizzas. Nowadays, he says, fellow pizza delivery drivers are often scared to leave their cars to go knocking on doors along the gloomy corridor of South Union Avenue between Washington and Venice boulevards. “I used to walk to work,” said Rojas, who lives a brisk 10-minute walk from his employment. Now, it’s frightening. “People can follow you.” This new layer of fear has become a fact of daily life in Pico-Union, said lifelong resident Aurora Corona. According to locals, entire blocks go dark at night in this L.A. neighborhood that lies west of downtown. One of L.A.’s most densely populated neighborhoods, it is home to about 40,000 people within 1.67 square miles
Sadly it reminds me of how the Iraqis would depend on structures and vehicles like locusts if the were abandoned or damaged.

Bidenomics in action.
I'm going to make a wild guess that the timing is a euphemism for delay, caused by a decrease of money available for routine services because what is left in municipal budgets after paying for defined-benefit pensions and the pampering of illegals is not enough to provide first-world municipal services.
PUT UP SOLAR?????
If you take a walk in the dark, bring a flashlight.
