I’ll be removing plenty of Copper Buss Bars tomorrow!!!!
hopefully you get to enjoy the spoils!
Couple of guys where I worked stole 1600lbs of phosphor bronze, over 90% copper. Probably stole more but they got away with it.

Sounds almost like the retailers are so afraid of litigation that they just let the thieves have what ever they want with no consequences. Give it to them if they want it that bad. What happened to store security? When I was young the local supermarkets had a security guy, with a shotgun, perched up on an elevated booth to deter theft's, and it worked!

I think it is more of a case of not wanting to have an employee injured trying to stop a felon. This would open up real can of worms for the employer; investigations, compensation, etc. All the stuff is insured, anyways.

...Which gets rolled into increased premiums for ALL of the ins.co's customers (not just the store in question)...and into increased prices on everything in the store, to help cover the increased premiums.
As a rule, crime in this country is out of hand right now. Period. It needs to stop.
Yes sir, that’s what I’ve been told. Their biggest concern is employees and customers safety. Too many thieves think nothing of pulling a pistol or doing some other stupid thing to get away. I know quite a few employees from Lowes and Home Depot.

Yes, we are demoing 6000a Paralleling Switchgear as we relocated all Generator Feeds and ATS’s…
EJ Electric, ASCO, NorSal and Schneider are the outside contractors.

The biggest cables I have used are 500mm csa singles (cross-sectional area in mm) much like a thick shovel handle for sizing. And also 400mm Pyrotenax singles on a Hotel job. Pyrotenax (Pyro) is also known as MIMS - Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed (copper sheath). Maximum length coil on the 400mm was around 38m. It was a mammoth job to run those - we ran the cables first, and then formed the cable tray around the clusters of cable - Three phase in Tri-foil formation, all clamped to the tray.
That was the first time I ever used a Reciprocating Saw - or sawzall. We tole the boss we needed it to cut that cable. It took over half an hour and many blades to make one cut ....the same cut for the power saw was around 30 seconds.
