It would take less than 30 seconds. That being said I live in Vegas there are many tweakers here and this kind of stuff happens far to often. A couple months ago thieves stole over 3 TONS of rebarb and some copper from a highway construction site in less than a week. Last week my friend has some steel rims stolen out of his garage the thief probably only got 5 or 10 bucks for them but that's enough to buy a hit or two of meth.
I live in a more rural area, so there isn't as much of problem with that here. There are still some tweakers, though. Hell, last week someone got arrested for trying to steal a guard rail off the side of the road. I wasn't trying to say it wouldn't happen, I was just saying it was less likely than if he had the back of his truck full of copper.
