the druggies & other idiots rip off taps in the area & come sell it to the yard



i told them im a plumber- showed my business card etc
they still insisted- no more taps

so, im going to speak to management at the office next time.
hopefully they will allow me to bring in brass taps.
They're joking, right? My yard i deal with has its own catigory for taps lol

Cant believe theft has gotten that bad in some areas that they have to stop accepting TAPS. Next thing you know they wont accept any copper wire due to theft (ok that might be a little over the top.. Lol)

But then again some yards are just as bad as the theives that bring in stolen material. I know of someone Who brought in a load of railway scrap. They told me the guy paused, looked around and said "ok uhh throw all your railway sh*t over there so i can pile stuff ontop of it and bury it" and NO it wasnt me. I know better.
