What makes kids end up stripping stolen copper wire in the government woods in the middle of the night ...even though they were raised by otherwise decent hard working country folk

.. asking because I see it quite a bit these days ... almost has me hoping my kids just turn into regular ol alcoholics lol

... the bar is being set pretty low in the thicket these days

druggies don't/can't think straight

Probably cause coon hides ain't worth nuthin'

To many protectionist laws for criminals .....A few years back, a six pack and an axe handle cured a lot of societal woes.

Always some lowlife scum out there. Always has been, always will be.

Not going to buy a toothbrush with the payout you can bet on that.

... I’m not talking about the regular trash that was bred from trash... asking about those from decent stock turning into trash these days

Probably cause fox hides are not worth nuthin' either.

Ah, that. I bet we all can think of an example of someone that falls into that category. I don't know why it happens, but it sure does.

Bacon what were you thinking?

Dang you had me for a minute

.... I could destroy the entire fox, coon, coyote and cat population in a month if I sniffed on some high grade meth Jtrap lol

That meth attracts them to the copper. Heard a story once that an olboy cooked up a batch of meth. Guess he went on a three or 4 day high and when he finaly came to he found his basement was filled up with copper wire. Had no idea where he got it. Guess it was such a mess only way he figure to clean it up was to cook up another batch this time he came to after a couple days and instead of cleaning up the mess he had stripped all the wire and polished it with tooth brushes. Not uncommon to here of them getting fried trying to steal it out of the mines down here

LD that is some crazy bacon lol had me going to .

My son is an apprentice carpenter and got addicted to stripping and selling copper wire scrap from job sites. It was driving me nuts trying to keep up to the mess in my shop. One day I went searching for my role of 14/2 for a small project, couldn't find it anywhere. Yup, you guessed it! And he's not even a meth head! Just an example of one of the times I wanted to call my dad and apologize.

Perhaps they were undercover trash? Some families are good at hiding it and some just encourage it by not condemning it.

Idk what attracts a meth head to copper but there's a million different reasons kids try meth

i'll never get my mind wraped around "let's mix all this stuff that will kill you and smoke it"

Just boggles my mind too. I get why youth want to experiment with pot and booze, maybe even cocaine. But I can't imagine why any human being would feel a desire or lack of fear to experiment with meth for the first time. Everybody knows what it does.
