They closed all the scrap metal points in the country, but the marginals will stop stealing hatches and rails because there will be no place to take them?
Closing scrap metal points may reduce opportunities for people to sell stolen metal, but it may not fully eliminate the problem of theft. Individuals who are motivated to steal may find alternative methods to dispose of stolen metal or may engage in other forms of crime. Additionally, if there's a demand for stolen metal, the market may shift to more clandestine operations. Effective solutions often require a combination of enforcement, community engagement, and addressing the underlying issues that drive such thefts.
