A February 5, 2016 story on nbc4i.com titled ‘Multiple Franklin Co. scrap yards indicted after undercover investigation’ reported the following: “An undercover investigation into several scrap facilities has led to indictments by a Franklin County GJ on multiple charges, including corrupt activity & receiving stolen property. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien says they conducted an undercover investigation of selling copper wire & railroad-related material to these businesses. The various scrap included wire composed of both copper and aluminum.

The businesses indicted are:

A to Z Recycliquortng
G-Cor Auto
Masser Metals
New World Recycling
PSC
Sims Bros Recycling

O’Brien says some of the facilities knowingly violated the law, which led to the indictments, including one that received (56) Veteran Grave Markers from a cemetery. Some of the markers had been destroyed and were not able to be returned. A to Z Recycling and its associates Lin Wang and Xiaodong Qu were indicted for a pattern of corrupt activity & possessing criminal tools. Union cemetery workers have replaced all the veteran flag staff markers they could identify. The recycling companies are due in court February 19th.

Also found during the investigation:

Beer kegs
Storage bins belonging to Family Dollar & CVS.
Shells for 2 liter bottles.
7K+ pounds of shredded plastics
Nearly 4 tons of Pepsi, Coke & 7UP property that was shredded.
Milk crates and bread trays

All of the items were reportedly clearly marked as property of those companies. O’Brien mentioned that theft of railroad materials & phone lines are crimes and also could create public safety hazards. He indicated that the scrap facilities that contributed to the theft will be brought to justice. The city prohibits them from purchasing certain items. In Ohio, there is a “Do Not Buy from Convicted Thieves” (DNBFCTL) list which has about 300K people on it. As part of this investigation, three of the sites purchased material from those on the list.” The complete story is available at this link.

It sounds as though Franklin County is allowing many of it’s recycling facilities have a “free for all” as they are basically endorsing theft. I have no problems with those who scour trash and dumpsters for recyclables to earn a few bucks, but looting cemeteries is completely unacceptable. Actions like this demonstrate some kind of internal void of morality. The punishment for those responsible for the graveside thefts should be sentenced to one month of cleaning up debris along the streets while wearing a “sandwich-board” sign that references their offenses.
