The linemen crew subcontracted to take down an old high voltage circuit and install 2 new ones, through our place told me the guys on the crew won't fool with the scrap aluminum conductor, they said the power company has submitted samples to the local scrapyards, for theft detection. That would be the straw that broke the camels back if they took the radiator out of my truck, this problem needs to be mitigated, it's becoming more popular every year. The scrap business is a remnant of the past, where things were done informally, I hate to say it but they are going to have to get inolved put some measures in place, it's going to be an associated operating cost too, and if people are going to readily steal from one another, what other legal means do we have, how many people are going to have to buy back their radiators, materials etc. and support these thieves. These thieves help create other bad situations, what about the guy who gets totally p$ssed off and goes to the scrapyard with a firearm and takes his stolen property back ? Sooner or later someone is going to snap, this is beyond a nuisance problem and is going to be tough to deal with unless these scrapyards cooperate in some way. I hate going to these places, you always get sh$t stuck in your tires, + the place near here has a nasty tire wash basin you have to drive through 2x before you are done, can't see what is in there.
