We had a couple of guys picked up in the wee hours recently here with a truck load of stolen aluminum and wiring taken right off a center pivot irrigation system in a farmer's field.

now, i've got a question. this is legit, not illegal. we just tore down an old barn at my parents old place and pulled all the wiring so we could burn the wood the barn was built out of (it was full of powder post beetles). legally, we weren't even supposed to burn the wood, which is stupid, but burning it sure as heck beats haulin the whole 90x80 100 year old barn to the dump unburned. What is an easy way to strip the insulation off the old wiring so we can take it in for scrap copper? again, this is not an illegal activity, perfectly legitimate.

Best way is with a sharp knife. Burning it can make it brittle(hard to pick up) or melt it. Some yards pay less for it burnt as well.

When you burn the barn throw the wiring on the fire and it will burn the insulation off. Easiest way I know to do it.

That's a huge problem now in Kansas - several athletic fields have been stripped of copper lighting wire to the tune of about $10,000 per field. They are even stripping the copper piping out of houses under construction. It is all a cycle though - when I was a rookie cop in the 70s they were after aluminum and we arrested two morons for ripping the siding off the backs of several houses in the daylight. They were thinking no one would notice if they just did the backs while people were at work.
