Phone Cable

What is the best way to strip phone cable. It sucks because of the grease. Any help would be appreciated.

yeah, really thin wire compared to the jacket. I would not strip it either.

i have probably a couple hundred feet will they think i stole it

thanks everybody i found this in the woods across from me and i was amazed it should be decent money

just bring it back as is. Ive NEVER been questioned on anything ive ever brought back... even burned copper wire

If he stole it, then why did he throw it in the woods? The story isn't making sense. People steal wire to cash in.

Unfortunately, some people steal just to steal. That is what they know. Steal, look at what you stole, question why you stole it, throw it in the woods.

cops stay at the scrap yard with road blocks at every entrance of the yards

That's one way to keep them out of the donut shops,,,

The kid stole it with a friend. They left it at the friends place and the friend got into trouble with cops. So the other kid walked through the woods at night to get it so that the kid would not get in trouble for having stolen property. On his way he had to drop one of the 5 that they stole. Because of that, I was able to get it.

If you know where it came from maybe give them a call and explain the circumstances...They may say keep it or who knows it could open some doors for you and you end up with more booty. Worse case they want it back but at least you don't have to worry about getting busted.

if i was you i would get in touch with verizon like said above ^ or throw it back in the woods. youd be dumb to bring it back. this is how scrappers get a bad name.....

Okay. If you know it is stolen, but still want to scrap it, you are making a horrible and terrible error in judgment. It is inherently wrong. METAL THEFT IS HORRIBLE AND MAKES EVERYBODY WHO IS LEGIT SEEM UNTRUSTWORTHY.

This is a very good opportunity for you to "practice" good business practices and also give yourself a good rep by being honest. Call them up and tell them you found their wire!

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
