Where do you suspect that homeless are storing their caches of copper? Do you think they're carrying them around with them at all times?

Oh they sell it as soon as they can (copper is easy to recycle and carries direct value) and then use the money for whatever.

The risk of course is that you are ripping potentially live circuits out of a building. It usually requires you to already be impaired and desperate to do it. It's that fun combo of illegal and dangerous.
