you know the funny thing
copper=money and you right it was def to sell it,wouldnt take much to find the culprit all the police would have to do is go to the local scrap yard and ask if anyone bring in a load of copper lately..
i remember a month or two ago i was out 4wd and had to cross over crown land (railway) and long and behold i saw 2 guys taking down the old wire from the old lines
(copper) i did see a ranger in there and it must of spooked them cause they bolted,i went back through a month later to find it was gone,sources told me it was another person who grabbed it that night and was sold for 800 dollars (thats alot fo wire)
so yeah thieving scum do things to make money scrap metal is profitable,i also seen a bloke kerbsiding grabbed scrap metal i asked him why he gets only metal etc,he said "scraps makes money" i asked how much he said in 5 trailer loads in 5 days he made 680 dollars (kerbside material)
so yeah its all about $$$$
