To those of you who say, "advertising for scrap metal is no more condoning theft than advertising for a tractor," I say BALONEY.

There is already an established "industry" of stealing anything metal from unoccupied homes, unoccupied farms, and selling it for scrap.

A coworker's catalytic converter was stolen off his truck, almost literally out from under my nose! I was three floors up, working with my back to the window. His truck was parked directly below. Someone came along, cut his converter out and made a clean getaway.

You can't tell me that scrap dealers don't know this is going on, and that some aren't trying to take advantage of it.

There is no such established industry for farm tractors. Heck, the only reason for stealing a farm tractor is to sell it for scrap! This isn't "Gone in 60 Seconds" where there's an evil crime lord packing tractors in containers and sending them to some exotic foreign land where rich drug lords park them in rows and admire them. Farming is a poor man's game.

No, scrapping legitimately is not a crime, nor should it be. However, metal theft is a HUGE problem right now with so many out of work and scrap prices so high. These guys just seem to be encouraging it.
