    Copper Prices Soar: Thefts on the Rise

    A decent video from abc news about copper theft and points out the fact that its a billion dollar a year theft industry.

    I ain't mad at you lol. The prices are way off though who did there research I could get close to 4 bucks for barebright right now so topping off at 3.60 is pure BS. Its not even close to the all time high.

    Still it's not .70 so it still is a good money maker @ $2.50 if it's stolen what a $1 loss per lb for the thief
    That news article is just for sensationalism
    In my town #2 is 2.26 lb but if you have over 500 lb they will go 2.50
