I was at the LWS and the guy said people are stealing welder lead off their truck for the copper.I would rather see a guy panhandling on the side of a road then stealing from some guy trying to make a living.

Reply:Welding lead, telephone line, power cable, but the one that really makes me  is gutting AC units at places like churches and community centers. Resently had a major AC theft at strip mall, over $100,000 worth so the news said.Ranger 250 GXTSmith Gas Axe
Reply:I used to work at an electric services place where we did repair and production copper and breakers for substations. Our outdoor storage area would get raided at lease a couple times a month. This went on until they lost enough money to install high res cameras outside.
Reply:in Los Angeles the Utility companies have padlocks on every door of their utility beds and even lock them after removing whatever they need while working right next to the vehicle as scum will steal stuff out of them from right under their noses...Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250

Reply:out here in Ca. dirt bags are stealing everything from the service poles to the pumps including the power heads off the irrigation pumps. they screw around my farm and they might find themselves packing a little extra copper they hadn't bargained for in the form of a copper jacket. then it's only a matter of about 30minutes to an hour depending on the size of their vehicle to dispose of the evidence with my backhoe.225NT bobcatAEAD200LEScott 125mm175, mm252 w 30A, PT225mm211, TA 181iHyper Therm 380, cut master 529100X & XX, Digital Elite6 Victor setssmith little torch, meco midget kalamazoo band sawsteel max saw evoulution circular saw

Reply:man they steal everything over hear on the border.  hole covers canal gates funeral urns and flower holders. there was alot of stuff going across the border i think they are watching a lil closer now. i don't leave anything outside or open for a second ive been to look at several houses in outer areas where you can see lines through the drywall, where they've pulled out wire and even pretty much completely demolished to cut out all the copper pipe.  alot of builders have been switching to pex pipe because of this but still have to have security to make sure newly wired places aren't jacked350P 30A spool gun cut master 51  syncro 250 other stuff " take a dog off the street and make him prosper and he will not bite you sad the same cannot be said for man" i didnt use punctuation just to piss you off
