Looks like this time...
They got the wrong kind of copper.
Intriguing. Even with today’s
Spectacular. Even with today’s high copper prices this is easily 3 to 4000 Lbs. of wire; not something to burry inside a jacket. Did they hide it inside an inflatable Santa?
South Bay is my go-to Home Depot. It’s always busy and it’s all self-checkout with a couple of attendants. It seems ridiculously easy to walk out of that place without paying or cheating with the self-scanning and hiding/not paying for small high-value items. The losses must be colossal. I don’t get it.
From Providence RI
Are there no Home Depot's in Rhode Island or did they already raid them all? I wonder if this qualifies as interstate trafficking?
