“Course it wont stop on 3rd Dec, the thieving pie-key scum bags who nick it have their own network of scrap dealers who will take anything for cash, no questions asked.”

“When the thieving scum are caught their hands should be melted down! Wonder if when the rules change at scrapyards on 3rd December it will stop this but doubt it.”
