They also have a lot more to lose so once a few have been done things
will be better.

You could carry out those now... its seems more like a lack of will
than actual capability.

Carry out what?

Sting operations on the scrap yards...

There is no crime buying scrap.

There is if its obviously stolen...

Are you suggesting they go and try to sell scrap and tell the scrap yard
owner it is stolen to see what he does?

Journalists did that just recently:

"Secret filming

An employee of Lowes Metals of Grays, Essex, who referred to himself as
Bubsy, looked at the BT cable and told an undercover researcher: "You
can't touch BT, they'll lock us up straight away."

He instructed the researcher to "burn the rubber off, stretch the copper
off".

Bubsy added: "The BT stuff is like doing a bank today."

The next day, after researchers followed his instructions, Bubsy
purchased the cable.

"He's identified it as BT cable," said Det Sgt Chris Hearne from BTP."
