I dunno who is even still stealing copper considering that a lot of yards are asking for proof of ownership before they accept it. Copper-nabbers are opportunistic, and won’t take the time to forge an original invoice.
Copper spools have the sheathing stripped off, wire cut to reasonable lengths, then brought to multiple recyclers in stages.
To be sure, the odd idiot will show up with a unadulterated spool and try to get paid, but most that go to the effort of abducting these things off the side of the road aren’t entirely stupid.
Then again, a less scrupulous yard might still buy the spool as it comes and strip it themselves.

That’s exactly what a copper thief would say.
Get 'em, boys.
Some people were about to buy a house then on the day of closing, they inspect the house one last time and found all the copper pipes missing lol
So they had to re-negotiate about the purchase price
I dunno, it’s kind of hard to spell “Ea-nāṣir” correctly.
