Come and get me, copper!

Local newspapers have run several stories lately about thieves breaking into buildings on the old Alameda naval air station so they can strip out the copper, which they sell to unscrupulous scrap metal dealers. Which is what made this Bay Area story all the better.

“Two men … broke into a vacant building [in Antioch, California] Tuesday in hopes of stealing copper wiring, police said.
They had no idea that the Antioch police K-9 unit was due for a training session at the building, which once housed a cardboard-processing plant.”

I hope the dogs being trained caught the second guy!
