I get that you still don't get it that selling stolen property is a crime.
How much is copper wire per lb?
I get that you still don't get it that selling stolen property is a crime.
#1 copper scrap is about $3 a pound.
That's a strong dude. You should put him to work.
It was worth $1000+ as wire. It was only worth $370 as scrap. I had to buy it back.
Wait, you had to buy it back from the guy that bought it from the thief?
You have a real slam dunk on that guy way more than the thief.
Prove he knew it was stolen.
You really are stupid.
He bought it in a legitimate sale and got ID etc. On the seller. He only knew it was stolen for sure after I identified it. And yeah I bought it back for what he paid for it since it would cost me three times that to replace it.
The law says nothing about "knowing" it was stolen. It is illegal to sell stolen property. PERIOD.
Got it
So was the recycle guy going to turn around and sell it as wire had you not shown up?
Lol CC wants it both ways. Stop your whining and gtfo with this![]()
If they showed hangings on national tv like they used to do hangings in town square it would cut down the murders of innocent woman children and men
Why did the murder rate drop for twenty years or so with no public executions?
I'm guessing you don't realize that having 1 thing work doesn't mean it's the only thing that works.. You don't seem like a very smart person. You do seem like a chatty person though.
Thanks for reading as always, DMC.![]()
you don't have proof he stole it, cops questions him he says he found it on the side of the road.
In order to be convicted of this, you need to do so knowingly and the prosecutor has to prove intent. Receiving stolen property is also against the law, do you suggest they should prosecute the guy who informed you? Sucks this happened to y'all, but the cops are trying to blame the DA for something that is incredibly standard. Did you get upset at the cops for not going CSI on your building to find the dude's DNA?
The truth is the cops don't care about your burglary. But they are 100% not going to sit there and be rational about it because cops aren't in the business of being rational about things like that. They'd rather play the victim.
Pussy assed DA could still have policy that cops go and interview the that stole CCs wire.
Protecting the criminals thru spiness laws is bull .
Nothing that a pair of tightly pulled bootstraps can't handle.
You are so ing stupid.
I reimbursed him his cost. I'm glad he bought it. It is material i use and would have to replace. I save $800 getting it back.
You're glad he broke the law. Ok.
Good illustration of criminality being a social construct, tbh. CC is totally willing to overlook the shadiness of receiving stolen goods from a homeless druggie.
DA will not spend $$$$ on iffy case involving theft of $1,000+ of stolen copper wire and homeless man who will need a public defender.
Much less spend $$$$ on iffy case involving possession of $300+ of copper wire and homeless man who will need a public defender.
