Who steals iron to turn in for scrap? It's only worth about 10 cents a lb. And then you have to haul it to the scrap yard. It's heavy!

On the other hand, copper is $3/lb, brass $2/lb, aluminum is $0.50/lb

Read "Playing the Moldovans at Tennis". According to that book, most of the manhole covers had been stolen for scrap.
