...that  the record high scrap copper price is causing a wave of copper 
thefts from  homes across the U.S. 


At least 10 years ago my wife and I were renting out a house in Memphis.  
Everything was FB when we did a walk through with the renters that were  
leaving... A couple of days later ALL of the copper was gone! Pipes, wire,  everything 
copper. This is not a new problem.
 
Believe it or not, that really killed the value of the house when we sold  it 
soon thereafter.
