For my own future reference, in case I plan to drop off any scrap metal at a recycler:
SC Copper Theft Law Puts New Requirements on Recyclers
...they agreed to allow homeowners and anyone else who doesn't recycle very often to get a temporary permit by phone by calling the sheriff's office. The temporary permit will be good for 48 hours. Instead of showing a permit, those recyclers will just have to provide the temporary permit number issued by the sheriff's office.
I think this is a good thing, if it really helps to reduce thefts and vandalism.
One of the houses I was looking at with Forestfen had an odd looking black contraption in the back yard next to the house, near a metal pipe coming out of the ground with wires sticking out of it. At the time, I simply wondered what that odd thing was. Later, I realized that there hadn't been any sign of a heat pump or A/C unit near the house, and that what I had seen were the remains of one. The black thing was the compressor unit.
