Of course. But the rise in commodities prices
driven by China (copper is
a good example) is real, and changes people's behaviour. Theft of copper
and other metals is more commonplace than it was. People get
electrocuted frequently while trying to steal live wires.
Good riddance, and thank you Mr. Darwin.
In Florida, it has become common for one to be
sitting in one's living
room and suddenly notice it's getting warm in the house. You go outside
and find that some street urchin has made off with the copper coils in
the condenser unit of your air conditioner. They often huff the freon
while they're at it, according to the cops. Fortunately for the rest of
us, sometimes this kills them...but not often enough.
And this isn't only happening in "those" neighborhoods, either.
Dirtbags. They're almost as bad as suits.
