The SC case sounds like an urban legend - The facts should be easy to check - SC and town are listed, but no name - generally a clue that it's a hoax
No, It's true. I live in Spartanburg SC. Theres more to the story. Most if not all the copper was AC coils and plumbing pipe. Commercial and residential. The thief had been caught before and he was with his wife. She has been charged too. Both have criminal records.
The scrap yard where they were taking the copper is owned by a local county councilman.
