To those of you who say, "advertising for scrap metal is no more condoning theft than advertising for a tractor," I say BALONEY.
There is already an established "industry" of stealing anything metal from unoccupied homes, unoccupied farms, and selling it for scrap.
A coworker's catalytic converter was stolen off his truck, almost literally out from under my nose! I was three floors up, working with my back to the window. His truck was parked directly below. Someone came along, cut his converter out and made a clean getaway.
You can't tell me that scrap dealers don't know this is going on, and that some aren't trying to take advantage of it.
