Here in Colorado you have to show an I.D. to scrap anything but aluminum cans.
But still converter thefts are rampant here.

I took a ~2 gallon bucket of misc metals that I collected from the house while doing renovations, repairs, etc. Things like random pieces of copper piping, brass vent valve from a water heater, etc. They made me fill out a form with my name, address, etc as well as my car's year, make, model, and plate #. I get it too.... In my case, it was really misc pieces, yet people show up with a trunk full of 6' pieces of copper pipe or electric wire that most people are thinking they stripped this stuff from an empty house. They record the same information, weigh it, and pay 'em though !! As long as the police don't track back the theft and link it to the sale at the scrap yard, nothing happens. How could they connect the two anyway ?Here in Colorado you have to show an I.D. to scrap anything but aluminum cans.

I didn't realize people were stealing alternators too. Some cars they're not that easy to remove.The real criminals are the ones buying cats and alternators from the thieves. That should get serious jail time. I'm sick of white collar crime.
Not even jail time here1 down 10000000000000 to go. Now he will go to jail for a bit and teach others how to do it. Jail/prison is where criminals go to be better criminals.
When I read that post from ecotourist, I presumed it was a typo. Never heard of people stealing alternators.I didn't realize people were stealing alternators too. Some cars they're not that easy to remove.
Yes, I've heard of junkies stealing copper wires off telephone poles. Happened to one company site in NYC back in the 90s. Couldn't call them for a week as that's how long it took for the telephone company to run new wires. Not alternators though. If they're that accomplished, they should be getting paid for it.When I read that post from ecotourist, I presumed it was a typo. Never heard of people stealing alternators.
What JustinH actually said was "The latest incident was copper thiefs taking generator wiring and AC copper tubing."I didn't realize people were stealing alternators too. Some cars they're not that easy to remove.
Meh heads?It's always good when these thieves are caught. It would be easy to I.D. this guy.
