No, I don't think there are, but someone would probably steal both the

anyway. I do have a bent tube of 1/2" EMT + a tubing cutter, though.



There was a 12' chain link fence around the warehouse & offices where
they loccked up ther trucks at night. I got about five free trailer
loads, before I moved out of the area.
