i doubt two challaces will end up at a scrap yard infact like in my mothers case when her wedding ring and engagement ring to my father who is now dead were taken by a local scum bag it ended up in the pawn shop.His own mother openly told people which pawn shop he like to use and they should have guessed by how much stuff he passed their way he was up to no good but instead they gave a lower rate on the gold he pawned because they knew damn well it was stolen gear so if anything local pawn shops need slamming down on also.

cant name it because i cant prove it and i cant name the scumbag either despite the mental dammage he has done to my mother who since the day she walked in on him robbing her hasnt been able to have the windows unlocked or door unlocked even in summer when shes home.He was convicete dof the crime but only admitted it when been on trial for a different burgulary at the last minuite when he asked for about 20 other burgularies to be taken into consideration and got sod all extra punishment

im not saying its right to steal lead and copper cable but i think it is more abhorant when people target individuals especially teh elderly or vulnerable
