The bodies of two men believed to have been electrocuted while stealing copper wiring were found early Tuesday on an abandoned driving range in Riverside County, authorities said. [More]I bring this story up because of this:
A law intended to deter metal theft took effect in December and requires recycling centers to take a customer's photo, thumbprint and identification for every transaction over $20.Hmmm. Sounds just like our issue.
Doesn't look like it's working at stopping the bad guys, does it?
