How do you even steal a frikin 200ft radio tower?
1ft at a time
Crackheads. -- "look at all that copper!!"
And what do you do with it? I doubt scrapyards are going to take it after this news...
I doubt scrap yards that pay crackheads really care about stolen scrap.
Why wouldn't they? It wouldn't be recognizable once they chopped it up, which probably would take them 10 minutes or so.
The average scrap yard is run by the most amoral among us. There's a reason catalytic converters are stolen. Someone would scrap that tower.
preppers?
