They are starting to rip out the cables used in car chargers. It's only 2m long, costs £300 to replace and the thief strips out £4 worth of copper.

In turkey there are a lot of people who gather cardboard for recycling for a wage of about 30-40 dollars a day

Is the USA version of this just pulling copper?

Well, except that it's nearly always super damaging.

The US version would be more like collecting cans back when they had a 5 or 10 cent deposit. Today I can't really think of anything like that. Maybe driving Uber/Lyft. Or just panhandling/begging.

Michigan still does 10 cents a bottle
