I work in the scrap industry. Here in my state it's even more strict than that. For anything other than aluminum cans or scrap iron you have to go to your local sheriffs dept and apply for a 2 year permit after showing them your ID and car registration. If you have any warrants or history of metal theft then you don't get a permit. At the scrapyard itself we have to keep a copy of the their permit and photo ID. We also have to take a digital picture of the person and write down the license plate # every time they come. Then on top of all that the State LEO division will do random checks on the scrapyards and can issue stiff fines for non-compliance. Even with all that though there still is plenty of theft to go around, lots of people are still willing to take a misdemeanor metal theft charge turning in scrap for their shady friends. Cops are a regular sight here and they update us with permits that have been revoked. That said I'm glad my state already has voter ID.
The article below states that some of the graffiti was on a snowbank at a school and that some workers had cleaned up most of it before it could even be investigated. Sounds like she just tagged some snow/ice knowing it wouldn't have any lasting damage and now she's being demonized like the hellspawn of satan in the news.

Just emailed my local RINO rep who voted in favor for impeachment:
"It's obvious you never actually spent any time whatsoever in the district you represent. You've certainly gambled against the local public's enthusiasm for Trump and disgust for the GOP's dilly dallying. I'm making it my personal mission to inform every republican I know about your decision today and forthwith cease any donations to you or the republican party ever again. God help us you win the next primary because in that case I will for the first time be voting for a democrat.
Stay your butt in Washington, we don't want you in the Grand Strand.
Regretfully I voted for you, MadB"
I'm in an area that had numerous Trump boat parades last year. How this rep doesn't see that a large portion of his constituency is onboard the Trump train is mind-boggling. He is either totally daft or willfully ignorant and just another brick in the establishment. My guess is on the latter.
