[TheForge] Price of Copper

[Jerry Smith]

Charles,

I have forgot how much copper there is out there, a
well as aluminum. I spent a few years as a pole
climber for Ma Bell and for what became Time Warner.
Lots of copper and aluminum on those poles and in the
ground. Every pot pole has a ground, so easy pickings
there and pulling a ground rod can be done really
quick with an old fashion car jack.

But out here in BFE Ohio, no one notices their phone
does work til daylight, after the thieves have dropped
two span of phone trunk. It took them not very long
and they knew what they were doing. 

I just want to know who the middle man is to fence
these things or they probaby drive up to one of the
ports where the ships are.
