I get so sick of hearing stories of tweakers stealing copper and the news calling them scrappers. It makes me sick when I see grave markers at the scrap yard (my yard reports them and sets them aside for the police so they are returned). It makes me mad that there are people who have no scruples about stealing honor from the dead.
So here is a good story of a scrapper who sees that the item in front of him has a value beyond its metal content. Couldn't keep it to myself. I sent an email to the editor of the life/community section of the Indy Star newspaper. I included a link to this thread. I am hoping that it will spark some interest and maybe even some help in making sure this marker ends up at the grave of its rightful owner.
I hope that others here will do the same. Sledge is doing the right thing and people need to know about it.
