[BC] Big copper theft in IA

[Mike McCarthy]

> This kind of thing isn't going to end until all states pass laws making copper theft a felony, and then requiring scrap metal dealers to get info on the people bringing the copper in. WV is proposing a felony law, and many states, MS among them, now require all sorts of ID and procedures to sell copper to a scrap dealer.

Illinois requires any copper deal more than 50 lbs to have the recycler
obtain the ID of the supplier for their records.  Typically the drivers
license is copied.  But that's of little value when the ID is forged.
