The Police need to take a major role here. EVERY scrap dealer within 100 miles needs to be informed of what is going on and warned not to accept this type of material. Then the Police need to visit EVERY scrap yard within 50 miles and inspect the premises for this aluminum stuff. Enforcement will get the message out and once they have no market, the thefts will diminish. If they find any scrap dealer with this stuff in their yard, they need to be brought to court as dealing in stolen property. And the newspapers need to get the word out as eel...see something, say something. We can bring better results if people are informed.
