 Marc Charney of Charney Real Estate shows where thieves have removed the copper plumbing from a sink in an empty, foreclosed home in Brockton, Massachusetts, March 25, 2008. Real estate brokers and local authorities say once-proud homes coast-to-coast are being stripped for copper, aluminium, and brass by thieves. Much of it ends up with scrap metal traders who say nearly all copper gets shipped overseas, much of it to China and India. |
