From the Farms to the U.S. Cities, Copper Thieves are Leaving Residents without Lights

Miles of copper wire are stolen by greedy thieves who only care about their vices and addiction. They only want to make quick money by selling their loot to scrap metal business owners. They do not care about t he safety of the citizens living in the areas. They are nabbing the copper that brings lights to streetlamps or provides electricity to the farms of the central San Joaquin Valley. Copper thieves are a new hazard that valley inhabitants have to deal with. They can be combatted only if everybody is on the lookout for them. Anybody who sees somthing suspicious should call 911 or report it to the local authorities. With the availability of digital cameras and cell phone cameras, a few pictures may be snapped too. These vandals need to be put away. They would be happy to see our cities landscapes drying out. For without electricity, the landscapes can not be watered.

Copper thieves add more costs to farmers who have to hire security and/or invest in expensive cameras to protect their assets. Usually, these farms are located far away from any passing roads. The thieves just drive to the nearest well to start stealing. The rash of copper thefts is not only linked to the Central Valley of California, but it is also found in metropolises. Residents can retake their neighborhoods who thieves who want to cash in on the public's property. Usually, the wire is taken from underground electrical installations. All of us can help the authorities.
