Copper Wire Theft – Light at the end of the tunnel!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 13, 2012 -- The price of copper is once again on the rise, which means the trade of illegal copper is also on the increase. But for the average American the question is: “What does that have to do with me?” In a word - safety.

Increased copper wire theft means: the brightly lit stretch of highway you use to get home every day will suddenly go dark. On these blacked out areas of the highway the risk of auto accidents is almost doubled.

But there is a bright side to this scenario. Transportation agencies like CalTrans are now using a range of Anti Wire Theft devices designed to eliminate copper wire theft, save many lives and millions of wasted taxpayer dollars. Each incident of copper theft (worth on average $100 in illegal scrap) will cost in excess of $10,000 to repair.

FDF’s complete range of security lids enable highway agencies to securely lock inspection points along street s and highways, preventing intrusion by copper wire thieves. “The aim is to make stealing copper wire so difficult and time-consuming that thieves will just move on,” says FDF CEO Jim Steed.

CalTrans has already started retro-fitting the FDF security lids to sites all over Los Angeles and the rest of California - preventing the lights going out, saving lives and saving California millions of dollars.
