Your right a chain of custody would be great, the problem is the metal scrap yards do have requierments with ID's and having a card from your company and waiting for the money. if this was working we would not be responding to this story and the best defense is a deterrent at the point of access and most wire is taken from in ground splice boxes with a concrete lid that might or might not have the bolts in place and thats why Sipra Corp came out with The Lockjaw!
The cost is not only in dollars but also in the cost of public safety when phone lines don't work and our kids are at home and if something happens they can't call 911, the railroad crossing arms don't work and a car load of kids pulls on to the tracks or the street lights are out and your wife's car breaks down and she's stuck in the dark. We came up with a solution and it's being used in Clovis, Ca with ZERO thefts or outages from protected splice boxes and they were spending $25,000 a month in theft replacement, look for yourself s and post your thoughts and watch the installation by a middle aged overweight man in 100 plus heat on youtube under sipracorp.
