    Copper thief busted story

    I had to share this. Near where I live, a copper thief was stealing from the railroad. He was taking the wire down to the lake and burning off the insulation. Well the cops went down there and he took off into the lake to hide. He almost died of hypothermia, but some duck hunters rescued him. Now he's off to jail.
    Kind of interesting story. I'm glad they caught him.
    Pretty slow scrappin' here for me. Hopefully things pick up soon. Just distrubuted some business cards so hopefully that will help.

    Nice story, we keep getting thieves stealing from our AC unit. I hope they get caught one of these days.
