Putting my geoguessr to the test-
For sure US, Pine trees, wood fences, trailers, political sign- David Hogan? cant make it out, not St Augustine grass-maybe paspalum?, Barn/stable implies horses or cows maybe.Im guessing north-central Florida/south Georgia. Sticking the pin somewhere close to Taylor Florida or right on the border of GA.
Sorry, im not trying to dox just having some fun.

Wouldnt fiber optic cable be worth more?
Yeah , but you won't find a buyer , the thing with copper and metals is you can easily sell them off in most cases.
-
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.

So they had to re-negotiate about the purchase price

yeah but no buyer

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.
I think turning someone's tires to solid steel would be pretty funny

wait fiber optic is like power lines??

No, check ebay if you don't believe me. It's not exactly plentiful, but there are enough contractors with several hundred/thousand feet left over from big jobs who are selling it for wholesale or less. It's not like you can recycle it, and splicing is unreliable without tools that cost as much as a car, so if you've got a partial spool you need to get rid of you'll probably have to sell it at a loss.

But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.
If they were good at math, they wouldn't be thieves.

The same drive someone puts into a PhD can be put into being criminal. Fact is successful criminals don't get caught. Some of them even become presidents, military personnel, cops, and politicians...
Start with crime, build money and get then ease into legal life. Shitty pop rappers for example. ...a sloppy example of people that don't do it well.

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.

I dunno, it's kind of hard to spell "Ea-nāṣir" correctly.

In some localities fibre optic is strung on the power lines, yes.
In some it is buried.
All you're looking at is the outer protective sheath.

wrote last edited by [email protected]That’s true, but aren’t financial crimes or organized crimes are where the smarter people are? Stealing raw materials to sell at shady recyclers is low bar moron crime.

How bad is your neighborhood that you have to label cable spools to prevent material theft???
At one of my prior jobs (Chicos FAS,Ft Myers, FL) a maintenance guy got fired when they caught him stealing cables for copper about 10 years ago.
