Starting to look like the old Phila Jones Snap connection. I've seen where brass FDC were stolen (repeatedly) but not disassembled. You must have industriuous drug addicts in your area, with tools!

One of our inspectors found this yesterday. With a rash (at least locally if not nationwide) of copper theft, this finding raises questions about brass theft. This could become a serious issue. I am curious if anyone else has run into this problem in your neck fo the woods and what, if anything, you may have done to remedy it. At this point we are not sure if this is an isolated incident or a city wide problem. Thank you for the assistance.
