And at the copper thieves.

Why at the copper thieves? For them it's real easy money. Copper prices have gone through the roof the past few years. Couple that with it being extremely easy to remove piping and electrical wire from new construction homes. The result is they're making a lot of money for very little work. Junk yards don't care where it comes from.

They're also using cordless power tools to steal catalytic converters from cars at park and ride lots, as well as other places. A guy on another forum I post at had his cut out from under his truck while he was in a mall for forty-five minutes. He tracked it down to the junkyard where the guy sold it off. Proprietor at the yard said someone had just sold forty to him, but the cops won't even bother with the case even though the guy found his among the forty, it being the only Toyota one.

someone at the playce i last work had hers cut out while she was at work and the car was in the work lot
