<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1273270, member: 26302&quot;]I see where you are going Collector1966 but I would disagree that someone going into a scrap yard and selling material is &quot;wholesale&quot;. Wholesale is usually defined as business to business, something which a person selling some junk copper to a scrapyard really isn&#039;t. I have sold to junk yards and received cash. This is the easiest way to sell off quickly stolen metal, (mine wasn&#039;t stolen, but still). It always has been, to the point that police would first look at scrap yards if metal was ever reported missing. About 1995 in Iowa at least they were required to put in cameras, and later required to take photocopies of drivers licenses to show who was selling. They discussed prohibiting cash payments but that law was never put into place, as its too hard to cut small manual checks constantly.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am saying is that you may be right as to motives of the law, or Desertgem could be. I would prefer to have more information as to the intent of the law, or the enforcement actions, to be sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know we talk about PM here, but non precious theft is a large and growing problem here, and probably in Europe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
