Went to our farm today, found the plow and cultivators for my B, an I beam, some pipe casings and other materials all lined up by the road. Guess someone gathered it up last night and is planning to come back tonight and pick it up. Wish i could have spent the night there tonight and fired a couple shots across the bow of their pirates ship when they came back to pick up stuff.
We did load up and move the plow, cultivator and some other stuff. It was nice of them to help us move it. I'm sure they'll be disappointed when they come back.

should have called the local cops and had them stake it out. Might have caught the low-life scum.

I've got a sheet and partial of 3'x8'x0.022" 16 oz. copper. I hate to see something like that scraped but it's about 30 years old so it looks like I'll never use it.

A co-worker lost a set of nose weights and a stack of old wheel weights to the scrap stealers, he found them back at a local yard and turned it over to police. Yard did not have a name even as it is required by law in Missouri now so they are to be closed for review.

My wife and daughter took a pickup load of stuff to the scrapyard the other day ( which is a story in itself ) and got $2.45 / lb. for copper with soldered fittings.

The scrap prices are going to keep going up thanks to China. I would hold onto all your scrap for a little bit yet.

I heard $200 ton in Sioux City IA last week. I am not sure if that was the prepared price or not.
