The linemen crew subcontracted to take down an old high voltage circuit and install 2 new ones, through our place told me the guys on the crew won't fool with the scrap aluminum conductor, they said the power company has submitted samples to the local scrapyards, for theft detection.
That would be the straw that broke the camels back if they took the radiator out of my truck, this problem needs to be mitigated, it's becoming more popular every year.
The scrap business is a remnant of the past, where things were done informally, I hate to say it but they are going to have to get inolved put some measures in place, it's going to be an associated operating cost too, and if people are going to readily steal from one another, what other legal means do we have, how many people are going to have to buy back their radiators, materials etc. and support these thieves.
