Something that made me smile

In Sacramento, the yards that are on the up and up require a picture of you and they scan a copy of your drivers license or ID card. They also take a thumb print. If you do not have an established account, you have to wait the three day waiting period for payout on some materials. There are however some yards that pick and choose who they want to buy from legally and who they will take anything from. They get money hungry and think they will not get caught. My advice is if you see something that does not look right or you see some one selling materials that look stolen, report it to the police. People stealing is making it harder for us honest guys and gals trying to make an honest living in these tough times. What I do is keep a list of addresses or locations that I pick up metal items from just in case there are any questions. I am sure if the police wanted to call someone who I picked something up from, they would not mind. Not only would it make you look better in the long run, people would feel more comfortable with you coming to there home knowing your an honest person and not out stealing. I also found a place that will buy TV'S for 3 Cents a pound in Rancho Cordova, they don't pay for other E Waste but they will take it if needed.

This is a globel problem, here in australia the thiefs have made it extremly hard on honest people.One good thing here is that recieving carrys a harsher sentance.The law requires a australian buissiness number and to be registered for gst, which does stop large amounts of stolen metal to be sold.To protect your livelyhood report thieves, these mongrels just make it harder for honest people .If these thieves are not reported it will only get worse, show no mercy.
