Houses get stripped of their wiring during construction. Ground wires get stripped off of power poles. The wire between light poles and going up the poles get stolen.

It’s not new though. Back in the 70’s a place that made modular power stations had tons of copper stolen. A inside job. They used one of the forklifts there to load up a company truck. I’ve worked on jobs where copper ground wire was stolen. That’s one of the easiest thing to get.
