Das Rohstoffdiebstahl-Geschäft wird rauher:

Rohstoffdiebe brechen in Army-Trainingsgebiete ein, um die Kupfer-Munitionsmäntel einzusammeln

Das Rohstoffdiebstahl-Geschäft wird rauher: Rohstoffdiebe brechen in Army-Trainingsgebiete ein, um die Kupfer-Munitionsmäntel einzusammeln. Das ist nicht ganz ungefährlich:

The Pentagon estimates up to 10 percent of all ordnance such as bombs, missiles and grenades fails to explode on impact. Some of it is left behind in training areas.
In May 2007, two suspected scrappers removed a Vietnam-era missile from the Twentynine Palms base. It later exploded in their Barstow home, killing both men and destroying the apartment. Earlier this year, two workers were injured at a Raleigh, N.C., recycling plant when ordnance suspected of coming from nearby Fort Bragg exploded.

Lacher am Rande:

Because the Twentynine Palms base is so vast, officials cannot erect and maintain fences. Instead, they have posted signs warning against trespassing, only to see those signs stolen for the metal.
