Wait, copper theft did go up around 2007, didn't it?
- Ourgon 5y agoCopper theft went up with the price of copper, this is a global phenomenon. I live in Sweden where this is a regular news item.
- sennight 5y agodunno, but lets assume it did: is it more likely that existing thieves switched to a higher returning crime, or that out of work kindergarten teachers started stripping roof AC units? Wait, if the gap in wealth inequality has been doing nothing but expanding... why does the crime rate do nothing but fall? With very few, and very brief, exceptions - this is the case.
