Thieves Making Copper A Hot Metal

It takes real brass to steal copper. Theft of the ductile metal is no surprise; for years, people have been illegally stripping copper to sell through salvage yards. It's found at construction sites, in wiring, home downspouts, as decorative sheeting on buildings, in the coils of air conditioners.

But a recent spate of thefts in the Mt. Lebanon area could be the work of a bold team that removed the copper from South Hills homes and two churches in at least 11 incidents since Aug. 20.
