How about we enforce recycling centers to take identification of people submitting copper, the type of copper and qty.? Even photo ID?
Or lower the value of copper...

How about we provide some voltage to go with the wire...

$32,000 worth of copper stolen, at $2.95/pound. That would be almost 11,000 pounds. If true, that's a lot copper to get down from a building's roof in the middle of the night, and to haul away.

Who do they sell this to? They should be fined for buying this stuff!

Martin, that is not what they said.
"Wylie said. Estimates put the stolen wiring at about $1,000, and repairing the lighting system at an additional $30,000."
339 lbs, which is still a LOT of copper!
