That stuff was taken to fill an order no doubt.. Copper and Brass is the usual target and with the HUGE drop in price the ferrous would be worth stuff all.. I took over a ton to a yard 3 weeks ago and received the princely sum of $15.00.!!!!!!!
Its gone up since then the the price still wouldn't cover the cost of their fuel driving to nick the stuff.. Maybe an add asking for "Stuart bits wanted" may turn something up.???
