You're assuming thieve are smart.
Do away with places to sell scrap copper, this kind of crap would end. At least do what pawn shops do and require positive id from the sellers. |

| I've scrapped metal before (steel and stainless steel from work:P) here in michigan, and any place that i've been to requires only a social security number, name, and address, but doesn't cross check the information you write down to anything else. someone could fill out the form like this:
Big Bird
123 Sesame Street
Nowhere, USA
SS#: 123-456-7890
and no one would ever know the difference. |

On another line of thought, you can't really just start assuming stuff is stolen either. Heck, back 8 yrs or so ago I had a big ol box full of 25 & 50 pair to scrap that came from rewiring the office. Man that box was heavy. Wish I had that same thing today, even counting the sheathing taken off that thing was at least 100lbs.
