As the price of copper wire went up in the USA and internationally (by more than 5 times in the mid 2000’s), copper wire thefts have increased as well. One government study estimated that $1 billion worth of copper wire is stolen each year in the USA. Theft of copper wire has become a much more prevalent crime over the years in Jacksonville and throughout the country.
These thefts often occur at abandoned homes, warehouses and construction sites. Copper thieves look for copper wire in air conditioning units, exposed pipes and many other locations. However, stealing copper can be dangerous, as these people found out when they were electrocuted trying to cut through power lines made of copper. Last year, theft of copper wire around Europe caused well over 10,000 hours of train delays and tens of millions of euros in damages, five rail operators told Reuters. This year, in spite of heightened security, they expect more of the same. The FBI says it considers theft of copper wire to be a threat to the nation’s baseline ability to function.
California has a law requiring people selling copper at scrap yards to be photographed, have their driver’s license copied and wait 3 days for payment. Numerous studies indicate the growing concern of copper wire theft across the country, including one startling report in 2008 from the Department of Energy that estimated the theft of copper wire costs Americans $1 billion per year. Copper thieves cost an electric company here in central Oklahoma $1,000,000 when they broke into a substation and stole $100 worth of copper.
Copper thieves are having an impact on the cost of electricity, home construction and private businesses. Eventually that impact will affect your pocket. Regular citizens can play an important role in reducing copper theft by calling 911 and reporting suspicious activity around construction sites. Copper thieves strike usually at night, targeting cables, signal boxes and dynamos at the heart of a railway’s communication system. Most of the signalling equipment is exposed and cables run for hundreds of kilometres, easily accessible to thieves carrying a set of tools.
