The FBI calls thieves who steal copper wiring a threat to U.S. critical infrastructure. They exploit demands overseas and target everything from railroads to homes. Now the crooks are coming out in force, hitting at least five sites in five days in Renton.

0000 wire weighs about 1 lb per foot. I sold miles of it. And most of the wire we see here is aluminum not copper. Copper was $3+ lb in 2008. Spot check now shows $3.75 for bare wire. 0000 wire is about 75% copper, 25% cladding

Scrap yards are going to need to require paperwork as to where the copper wire came from. They’ve done this in the past and they’ll probably reinstate this policy. This would relieve them and the seller of any liability.

@@Khd387 those jobs could go up for bid to remove the wiring legally. But theft is theft plus the poles remaining would be a safety hazard because the wiring does supply support for the weaker poles.

The thieves here in Dallas Texas are going after the phone, internet and cable TV big lines. Caught thieves 3 times different months just outside my home cutting down hundreds of feet each time frim the wood tall power polls. Then cut into smaller pieces on the ground then put into cars and trucks. I got lic plates, people faces, video. It's like the police here don't care and the big phone/internet company who owns the lines doesn't care either. It's like everyone's in on the corruptions besides the customers who are getting charged higher and higher prices. It's a downward spiral, open borders, mass crime. This world is in trouble.the US has fallen, been invaded.

Just a few months ago thieves hit my building while we were asleep. They ripped out the sheet rock then the copper tubing. The next morning I went to my vehicle and the garage was flooded. We had no water for almost a week because of those pricks. They don't care if you live there or not, they'll strip your building clean in the dead of night so stay vigilant folks.

The psyops play both sides. Fog is key. Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do to your country. They want gun control lol. Always remember instant ice packs with a pinch of powdered aluminum mixed with oil or vaseline is anfo in every medical clinic. Sifted flour, air and fire are tools in every kitchen. Water heater temp control units and pressure relief valves are easily bypassed. Life gives you match heads make a shotgun. Life gives you water make HHO. Knowledge is our limit. Just please remember to use extra caution with tcap, silver fulminate, and other simple hme like nitroglycerin. You can refine nitric acid with modern day gas furnace condensation to make RDX. Science is fun if properly utilized. Nothing wrong with knowing how to kill as long as you understand when. Semper fidelis sic semper tyrannis. We are taking command Joe. Let's go Brandon. Jesus is King and I follow his orders.
