Trucker warns others about theft after APU cover stolen for scrap metal

The big thing around here is thieves stealing catalytic convertors from vehicles in park and ride lots.

 

That catalytic converter thing has been gaining in popularity around here, too.
Step one: get copies of the driver's licenses if you're going to buy a bunch of scrap off of someone who doesn't ordinarily bring it in.
Step two: if it says City of... something or another, call that city before you pay for the scrap fees! They've been losing sewer caps in some areas of the country!!

 

Copper pipes, being stollen from basements and fairs, was big in Erie county for a while, I havent heard much lately? Some of the homes where ocupied, I cant imagine, the dismay coming home to that!!





American only truck crazy girl, cause nothing else will do!!!

 

Hell, in Gibson cemetery, Gibson Missouri, thieves stole the brass headstone plaques off the graves to sell for scrap. No respect.

 

around here there are 3 major crimes of this nature:
1- stealing catalytic converters from cars parked in front of houses or at p/rs
2- not siphoning gas but just punching a hole in the thank and filling cans that way
3- stealing copper wire from DOT signs/projects

don't let the media play this off as a function of a worsening economy. around here these crimes are perpetrated by tweakers (meth addicts). however, i did read somewhere that even the price of meth is increasing with inflation ... so maybe it's the "economy's" fault after all.
