It's big here. It's some people's only means to earn money. They get all 
they can in a day and gamble it at the shelter at night. Some do it to 
suppliment their disability income. Some drive around in pickups 
stealing old appliances from job sites or break into basement buildings 
to steal the copper pipes so they can live in a house. Scrapping metal 
is big here.
