Too true - one of our clients (telecommunications company) recently had a grounding rod that was being stored for installation on one of their sites ripped off. Estimated scrap value was about $60. These guys evidently drove about two miles up a remote and VERY rough (4x4 definitely required) desert mountain road to get to the site, then commited felony trespass, B&E (over an 8' fence topped with razor wire) in order to get it.
Either some VERY desperate desert-dwelling meth-heads or an inside job - they're looking into it. But yea, copper is a target now.
