    Something will have to come about before too long. I have personally been the victim of large scrap thefts TWICE, adding up to several thousands of dollars. I derby as a hobby and deal with alot of other derby guys. Overnight, over 100 of my good radiators grew legs. That was about 4 & 1/2 years ago. Just a couple months ago, in a 3 day period, 7....yes 7 fresh cars vanished w/o a trace from our storage facility about 20 miles from the house. Infuriating.

    And absolutely.....I have been scrapping for a living for the better share of my adult life....way before prices skyrocketed and everybody and their dogs became "professional" scrappers...back when making a living with it took skill and a good work ethic. Long before there were internet forums and blogs about it. These thugs are really starting to give true professional scrappers a bad reputation, and it is quite pissing me off. I was pretty sure I was not alone on this.
