Copper goes for around 1.50 - $3.00 a pound sometimes more.

Based on the news item one could say that there is a copper after the copper.

Negative Nancy, It is a city police release. They city police take the information from the "victim" and write a report, they forward that report to a news release, and voila! Press release. generally a edit to a press release is considered faux-pas.

I get it! they value this stuff like marijuana.
mudrunner 1/30/2013 10:29:21 AM Report

My best guess is its only 750 bucks for it, but some 1/0 gauge wire can go for about 500 bucks for 100 ft.

WOW !!! That is crazy insane stuff !!

Let's see, who's got a beef with Essar?This sounds like the work of professional"wire pullers"!
mudrunner 1/30/2013 3:31:05 PM Report

At $3.oo a pound that would be like 2500 pounds how does someone carry that out in 2 hours.
