Scrap metal is in big demand up here so it must be the same everywhere. People are stealing metal from job sites, taking it out of yards and off existing buildings. Someone left a coil of heavy gauge copper grounding wire on the ground at a local job site and when he came back from lunch it was gone! Companies here are more than happy to pick up junk steel for nothing and then they sell it to recyclers who ship it to the Orient to make KIA's!
