DUMBASS

Copper is $3.25 a lb scrap right now. Guy at the electrical counter the other day says he's got gypsies coming in wanting to buy his scrap wire every day now.

LOTS of copper down spouts and gutters being stolen from schools and churches these days !

I head a local day care had it's water pipes removed from the crawl space a few months ago...

I got a bunch of old copper pipes down my basement and under my deck from remodeling my place a few years ago - maybe I should truck it over to a scrap yard to see if I can get enough cash for a new rod and reel. $3.25/lb is some decent cash for that stuff. Those two idiots stealing from the National Grid sub-station deserve to be culled from the gene pool though. Like the other numbskulls earlier this year up on the MA/NH line that fried themselves for a quick buck.
