Hey Dave 

Yeah; they're real tight here now; require state issued photo id to sell
anything except aluminum cans.  Thieves even carting of central air
conditioning units; cut the lines where they go into the wall & haul
them off to strip them.

Lew, 
Two weeks ago a gang(?) hit 25 or so irrigation rigs
and stripped off all the cables.  Some conservative
figuring yeilds more than 2 miles of copper wire!
These high scrap prices are hurting everybody,
especially the victims and the honest scrappers. 
Who'd-a-thunk-it?

P.S. My two unrestored plows (one Oliver tractor drawn
and one JD horse drawn) will be safe from the torch
for now, and hopefully longer.  
Disclaimer: above statement meant to keep my comments
at least a little bit on topic :-).
