this is exactly what copper would say
-
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.

Copper spools have the sheathing stripped off, wire cut to reasonable lengths, then brought to multiple recyclers in stages.
To be sure, the odd idiot will show up with a unadulterated spool and try to get paid, but most that go to the effort of abducting these things off the side of the road aren't entirely stupid.
Then again, a less scrupulous yard might still buy the spool as it comes and strip it themselves.

Bull shit! They don’t lay fiber anywhere that rural and meth looking! It’s copper in disguise! Geet ‘um!
They specifically lay fiber in rural areas, cuz it’s federally subsidized

Been needing to finish the mancave, even BETTER!

If not copper, why copper shaped?

Sure this will prevent the meth heads from stealing it, but it will attract a much larger and more dangerous predator - the North American Excavator.

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
It's really that valuable, the bulk prices I've found on Alibaba are around $25-$30 per KILOMETER!

Get 'em, boys.

Thieves don't care if it's a nice neighborhood. It happens on building sites everywhere. They don't mind driving a long way.
But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.

They lay it in rural areas because it's cheaper to maintain and requires less permiting compared to city installation where there are more buried utilities.

yup! now everything is operated by, well, me, because i have all the keys
You can buy a set of keys on Amazon that will run almost any piece of equipment found on a construction site for like $15.

That is just what someome with a lot of copper would say!

Looks like they're burying it. The buried stuff does have a small copper locate wire. Or maybe its aluminum? I don't know. Better check

Wouldnt fiber optic cable be worth more?

Yeah, but you wouldn't find a buyer
