Over the past several weeks there’s been an uptick in the number of times police have gotten calls related to copper theft, Newton Patch reports.
Between February 16 and March 2 at least seven calls came into police reporting copper wiring, or downspouts were stripped and stolen from buildings around the city, according to incomplete police data.
Love the headline.
Thanks for the tip. I’m putting my penny connection under lock and key.
That’s got be a real drag if you come home to find all your downspouts have disappeared.
Thanks Jerry. I’m looking forward to the followup:
