LOL We have hoodlums out ripping copper wire off utility services and
stripping copper pipe from unoccupied buildings. Gee, do you think the
local scrap yard might pay for it?

Greetings,

The wire is mainly 12 and 14 awg Romex, knob and tube, or mineral
insulated. It is not high value copper pipe drain pipe or 250 kcmil SE
cable.
