FBI: Copper thieves jeopardize US infrastructure
The FBI today ratcheted up the clamor to do something more substantive about the monumental growth of copper theft in the US.

Thanks for the link, Lester -- that is an interesting article. I hadn't heard about the tornado siren failure in Jackson, MS because of the copper theft, but that doesn't surprise me. When I managed a warehouse in Alabama that had copper pipe (for wastewater treatment), not only did I have the place protected by ADT, I also kept the copper hidden from view from customers coming in for other products. Out of sight, out of mind...
