Will that do any good? Does Copperweld look significantly different 
than copper to a thief? Your issue should be what it's worth to you 
to have a functioning system more than how much a drug lord can get 
once he realizes he's stolen something of little value.

At WOR we had some workmen cut our main phone/data cable from floor 
to ceiling. I'm told it was found in the basement. It seems the 
thieves noticed there was more insulation than copper. That fact 
didn't help us much in trying to get everything up and running.

Most of my cars have been convertibles. Force of habit made me lock 
the doors. At some point every top was slashed. There was nothing of 
value in the car. Once I stopped locking the doors the slashing 
stopped. The potential thieves got nothing and I got hit with higher 
insurance rates. Of course the downside is that I had to explain to 
the insurance folks the doors weren't locked. They didn't understand.
