The worst thing about theft is the scrapyards that knowingly support scrap metal theft by buying from known thieves and refusing to ban them.

This happened to me earlier this year.

A crack head was caught three times in 2 days stealing stuff I pay for so I call the cops and like usual they don't give a crap "put up a sign so he won't take it again".



I call one scrap yard that I deal with occasionally and they banned him permanently that same day.

I tell the scrapyard that I deal with on a weekly basis and get this-the manager tells me "unless he gets arrested for it we refuse to ban him"

I think the manager is taking kickbacks to keep buying from the crooks.

And of course if I put the name of the scrapyard on here I will get sued into the stone age.

THAT is the worst part in my opinion.
