Another example of the few bad ruining it for everyone.  Not just the other scrappers, but the whole of society that benefits from this free activity.

I am totally  ok with it.

Way too much metal theft, just like cat theft.  You will never stop it from happening unless you go after the people buying it.

Ita like drugs, busting the users and the guy selling on the corner does nothing.   You need to go after the big players.

The problem is that the worst of the players are still doing it.  The majority effected are the legal, except for some IRS fraud, and the residents who got rid of their stuff easily.

One of the Sheet metal shops I worked in had to put camera's covering the scrap bins .
They got a call aasking if "So and So" was authorized to sell their scrap.
The company had a contract for scrap with that scrap yard .   

Note for criminals, If it's the closest junk yard they will probably recognize the manufacturers stamp of every fabrication shop in the area.

It does suck, but I can not think of any other way to stop metal theft.  I have done 5 million plus is metal theft repairs in my life

Right up there with bad guys getting caught cause they are running with pants around their knees or shooting their own "junk" by having their firearms stuck down the front of those same loose pants with no holster. Nothing more than the Darwin theory in action.
