It's this bad: Metal thieves are stealing brass sprinkler system backflow valves right out of people's backyards. The valves have to be above ground under state law, but that makes them easy to take. And they cost $250 or $350 to replace. As long as scrap dealers pay for the metal, people will steal it. (Knoxville News-Sentinel; Thanks to Frank Murphy at WWST (Star 102.1)/Knoxville for the link)
