    scrap metal license pa

    I been hearing rumors of a county or statewide license for scrapping here in pa. Particular around lackawanna area? Any truth to this>? I see lots of pros to this, like all the weekend warriors will disappear and no one will be able to hit a yard unless they are licensed. Only downfall is it will not curb crack heads or thieves, they will come knocking at my door. So that is the cons....your thoughts? I also hearing the license will be 500+ a year....

    Then it's your choice whether you deal with the dirt, or not. If you do then you are still keeping them going, where if you clamped down then the scumbags may not have anywhere to deal their scrap.

    Why would you even deal with thieves either now or at any point???

    I try not to deal with thieves, but inadvertently there is always the question, the vibe, the merchandise is stolen. You really don't know. And I do sometimes ask for drivers license on bigger purchases like a scrap car. But most wont show a license to a guy like me. So there really is no way to know.

    I just got yelled at for 2 stolen phones I sold on ebay. Funniest thing is I bought them as scrap phones from a supposed legitmate pawn business. So crap rolls down hill and they went after them. I still lost money in the end.

    In this world you just dont know who to trust anymore.

    But that wasnt the point of this, the point was is there any factual basis behind this?

    You can check if a phone has been reported stolen on numerous websites before purchasing.

    That's interesting but I've heard of that for parts of PA before - nothing like that around here(knock on wood).
