    First of all, please use punctuation. It's extremely hard to read your text. Secondly, in my opinion, get a letter from the owner of the company on company letterhead stating that he was the lawful owner and transferred ownership of the material to you. Fancy speak for he had the right to give it to you legally. Then sell it. That should cover you legally if there are consequences later.



    But, if this was brand new copper wire from a job site, why aren't you trying to sell it to another job site to be used as copper wire? Why scrap it at all?

    When I wrote my first thread I accidentally put it is stolen I meant to put it isn't stolen so just wanted to clarify it it was given to me by a friend whose company went bad and had to file for bankruptcy . He was having problems paying all of his workers and being as close as I was to him I decided to tell him not to pay me give it to me in the future use my pay to help p the other workers at the end of all this the only thing he was able to give me was a $1,500 roll of high and copper wire to make up for letting him not pay me. I'm going back to my original question I just was wondering if there somehow some way that you can tell it its not stolen his their database out there is there records of some sorts
    obviously if somebody calls the police files a report pertaining to stolen copper .somehow someway I was just looking for some advice or tips to prove that it isn't stolen

    List it for sale in the business or service section of CraigsList if it is indeed not stolen.
