[Sca-cooks] Regards Copper

[Craig Jones]

I work in Rail... They're stealing copper signalling cable... 50km of it 
at a time...
We hired a security guard to stop this.  When he found out how lucrative 
it was, he started stealing it too...

Word is that they are worth about three cents a true copper penny. They are stealing air conditioners to the point that there is a burgeoning side industry in making theft proof cages.  At Miami International Airport there was an attempt about 10 years back to steal copper from a huge transformer that was waiting on transport on the maintenance side of the airport. To big to steal and to hard to break apart they contaminate a portion of the area when they caused the toxic transformer fluid to leak out. Older houses that a vacant are being broken into and stripped of copper pipes.
