Where the heck does all this stuff go?
I occasionally sell breakers that I've pulled out (legally, and getting paid for it, only ones that would otherwise go in the trash) to a local breaker house. Fishing $.
They have a photocopy of my driver's license, and require it and my signature every time I go in to sell something like a 25 year old I-line destined for the dumpster.
They know me as a regular customer, as I buy there often as well.
We've been ripped in LA, Lakewood, City of Industry, Riverside...These are all miles apart, and they all reek of the same "Modus Operandi". Almost surgical removal (except for Industry, where they took every bit of Cu in the building larger than #6, and left a Corona bottle in the middle of the floor).
There's a way crooked breaker guy somewhere out here. Where on earth can someone sell a 2000 Amp 600V breaker, brand new, and not raise an eyebrow of suspicion?
Nick, thanks alot for the heads-up...S
