I was listening to the radio there was a story about how 3 or 4 scrap yard workers in/near Sacramento were arrested for buying scrap from undercover police. The undercover cops went to the yard attempting to sell what they said was "obviously stolen material" to the employees there. They fell for it hook, line & sinker I guess, bypassing the paperwork and purchasing the copper (and other metals i think) from the agents. It just goes to show that at least there is something that's being done about this. To condone thieves and buy stolen stuff is just as bad as stealing it yourself- maybe even worse because in buying this stolen stuff they have created a market for it- with more potential players than i care to think about.
