Under cover of darkness, thieves have stolen $200,000 worth of dimes from a truck parked overnight at a Walmart in West Philadelphia.
My friend JC texted me and asked what Scott’s Salvage near Humansville would pay for two million dimes.
I had to do some figuring, but it would be about 10,000 pounds of dimes, and at $3 a pound for scrap copper (there’s not much nickel in a dime) Roy Scott might pay about thirty thousand for five tons.
But the Scott family runs a good Christian operation and wouldn’t consent to fence that many dimes.
But let’s say you checked your junk pile and found two million dimes, all bagged up, and only your conscience was your problem.
How in the world did the thieves plan to spend that many dimes?
I guess, they could spend them all making phone calls and playing the juke box.
