I literally have about 60 pounds worth of pennies in an old water jug...from back when they used to use glass for them. Do you think I would make more money by selling them the a recycler as pure copper weight, or going to Safeway and using Coinstar to get the .01 cent per coin street value form them ?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Three air conditioning units were stolen from a church this week.
The Rev. Rev. Emanuel A. Johnson said the units were taken off the roof of Mt. Vernon Missionary Baptist Church at 3935 Prospect Ave. late Thursday or early Friday.
A similar theft was reported on Sunday at Emmanuel Mega Mart at 3510 Prospect Ave. In that case 10 air conditioners were stolen from the roof.
"When I saw that they had taken more of them up the street, I'm thinking, 'They're going wild,'" Johnson said.
KMBC's Jim Flink that the units weigh at least 300 pounds each, so the thieves are probably using heavy machinery to get them off the roof.
Police suspect the thieves are taking the units to sell the copper as scrap, which is valuable right now.
"The sad part of it is, these are really expensive units, and for tens of thousands of dollars in damage, they might get $5 worth of copper out of them," Capt. Rich Lockhart said.
Lockhart said more thefts of air conditioning units are reported during the summer months.
"Be on the lookout because they're coming up Prospect and they aren't going to stop," Johnson said.
Lockhart said he wants scrap metal sellers to be more responsible.
Johnson is asking anyone has information in the case to call the TIPS Hot Line at 816-474-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
i swear, i always see some shit on tha news about stolen air conditioners, atleast 3 times a week.

My little brother is a contractor, he collects and sells copper from jobsites.
My Uncle owns a window company, and he sells the aluminum and other types of metal he gets at work.
They both make some good little side money doing it.
Fuck learning about some dumb shit from a TV series. Handle your biz. Money is money.

I'm not tryna knock people selling their leftover supplies, or even scavanging to survive. (I think it's ridiculous people are forced to scavange through other people's trash just to survive. One man's trash is another man's treasure.) You right, money is money. Im not tryna clown. I was just laughing at how even on the wire they feature dopefiends looking for scrap metal.

They just made a new type of law or restriction for this type of thing in Phoenix....They had on the news the other day about some fool that had to get rescued from the top of a telephone pole. Turns out he was up there trying to steal copper wire. lol I guess this is a bigger problem out here from muthafuccas stealing this shit from construction sites and whatnot. So they said they are restricting people from being able to sell it. supposedly only people with certain type of credentials can sell it and also some type of limit on how much you can actually sale.
Haha...you know they don't use those little tear out check things anymore. They have WIC Credit Cards...so it looks as if you're buying with an actual credit card, when really its a WIC card. I think the biggest givaway now is the combination of Similac, Safeway Apple Juice, and Kix plain cereal. LOL
Haha...I was just clownin around man.
