“Dear PoPville,
Just curious if anyone else is reporting a rise in copper theft. We live in Adams Morgan and recently had a 12 inch piece of copper pipe replaced along with a new faucet at a cost of over $500. Yesterday, I noticed someone had cut off the new pipe and faucet. Thankfully the water was still off and they didn’t take more than they did. Any suggestions from the community on how to prevent future issues?”
