Stripped Telephone Wires

Living anywhere is dangerous anymore as crime is everywhere. It seems as though crimes are increasing in evey state,city,town,etc. Metal theft is up in most places as prices for recycling it is higher than ever. Copper prices have skyrocketed and are still increasing. I know my husband made a living for over 5 years by buying junk car and recycling the metal off of them, and selling the motors and converters to other scrap yards. It is an increasing business and it will continue to add to the thefts as long as the prices are like this. Here the copper has been stolen from houses,schools being built, any costruction site, etc. It is sad that people feel that it is okay to steal it and resell it,but with the economy the way it is people are doing all they can to stay above the water and keep food and clothes for themselves and their kids. It seems as though food costs and gas costs have increased so much and people aren't seeing any extra money.
