JFranklin Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Call the savage yards in your area and keep an eye on craigslist. File a police report and then buy a loud alarm system for your place, or a MEAN dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Huston Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Sounds like they did not just randomly pick your garage to break into, you were specifically targeted. Get your garage alarmed, get a gun, and be selective about who knows what is in your garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 A good old copper radiator can bring $30 to $50, depending on weight (I just sold an early useless radiator, 1.95 a pound) Be willing to bet that if you went to your local scrap yard, as mentioned, and asked around, you'd get them back....but may have to pay a little more than that.....

jpage Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Around our area people are always stealing copper. They'll go into occupied houses when no one is home and cut out the piping and wiring. Thieves stole the copper gutters off a church in town in broad daylight and about a week ago 2 men stole the copper ground wires and conductors from a local 911 transmitting tower in broad daylight rendering 911 comunuications useless but they were caught on video. Some people will do anything for the easy buck! The bad part is if you would happen to catch them you can't do anything. I like the Arab justice---you steal from me , I take your hands! Usually they don't do it again! Sorry for your loss though, I once had all my tools stolen from my garage,fortunately they didn't damage my Model A. Do check with all the local scrap yards as these guys usually dump the stuff quick and close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
