The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And what do you do with it? I doubt scrapyards are going to take it after this news...

I doubt scrap yards that pay crackheads really care about stolen scrap.

Why wouldn't they? It wouldn't be recognizable once they chopped it up, which probably would take them 10 minutes or so.

The average scrap yard is run by the most amoral among us. There's a reason catalytic converters are stolen. Someone would scrap that tower.
