NewslettersCoppers can't nab copper thieves

Patrick Donohue wrote about a string of copper thefts on Lady's Island. Everywhere I've worked this has been a problem. Between rising copper prices and a tough economy, grabbing some copper tubing for 100% profit seems to be the way a lot of crooks are going.
How do you crack down on people selling stolen scrap metal? The only plausible plan I've ever heard is to have scrap metal dealers operate like pawn shops – keep records of all their customers. Would this solve the problem?

I wonder if "theives" can spell?
Not when they haven't had coffee in a while.
Obviously KTOGP32 can't spell. I didn't see the word thieves spelled incorrectly in either the article or the post. The only place I saw it spelled wrong was by KTOGP32.
That's because you are dazed & confused..... and late to the scene as usual. The OP obviously edited her subject line.
Try to keep an open mind, maintain your sense of humor, and refrain from lame attempts to appear clever.
When the mistake was pointed out to me, I fixed it.
Keeping records keeps their business clean as well...unless, they prefer their business just as it is.
Where in Beaufort can you sell scrap metal, old batteries, aluminum cans, etc?

...I'm pretty sure it's the magistrate's court, I hear they are buying.
102 Ribaut Road, Room 208 Beaufort, South Carolina 29902
Also, the mayor's office may be buying as well. Good luck!

Where's old man cyruss? He usually took care of the cans but it's been years since I have seen him
Coastal Auto Salvage has a scale now and they buy all sorts of scrap metals. They're on Hwy 116 (Laurel Bay Rd.)
