A while back, we had a serious issue with copper grabbers stealing the copper pipes and wiring from homes and other buildings that were under construction (and some that were already built). It got so bad that they passed a law where the only way you can sell copper at the junkyard is to show a valid ID and valid car tag. I think they also take your picture and take down other information. Once it's been determined that your copper was obtained legally, the scrap yard will mail you a check. Otherwise, law enforcement will come haul your butt to the pokey.
