    Holy Crap.. My Local Lowe's was hit! Copper Theft!

    Went to Lowe's Today to get materials for my jobsite.. One of the guys in Lumber says "You like our new skylight in aisle 14?" He said someone had cut a hole in the roof last night.. dropped down like some mission impossible thing and swiped a whole bunch of materials! I thought he was kidding me-- until I saw the hole in the roof!! From what I saw they emptied all of the 12-2 wire on the skid (but left 12-3) and there wasn't a stick of copper left in the store!



    This is insane! Who in the heck would cut a hole in a roof of a big box store to swipe stuff? I'm seriously dumbfounded!!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
