If it's real copper, they have to tell you. It's in the constitution.

If you're a copper, you have to tell me.

How bad is your neighborhood that you have to label cable spools to prevent material theft???

If enough people believe it's copper, it's good enough.

Um... What kind of fiber optic?
-
It's a really common thing in construction yards.
True. Construction sites helped me build lots of bike and skateboard ramps in the 80s.
Did you know they also used to leave keys in the heavy equipment?
-
I feel like you could real easily just steel that roll and of fiber optic cable and sell it? Like that much of the stuff must be rather valuable. Also they labelled it for you so that you know what it is

Sell it to who? Most business must keep records of the stuff they use in their books. A roll of optic fiber this large would cost a substantial amount of money, so using one "off the books" would require some creativity. And I'm not sure there's much use for individuals for that much.
Copper is interesting because there are business that buys it by weight for recycling purposes.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Who would you sell it to? The same telecom company? The same company that installs it? Might as well steal the tires off the installation team truck and sell it back to them.

If the right people don't think it's just fiber, then it's no longer good enough.

I dunno who is even still stealing copper considering that a lot of yards are asking for proof of ownership before they accept it. Copper-nabbers are opportunistic, and won't take the time to forge an original invoice.

Thank you, I am now reassured in my DuckDuckGo-fu after looking this up because I don't watch the Simpsons.

That's exactly what a copper thief would say.
