You have the same roblem in the US with copper/lead/metal thefts?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Sim, oh yeah we've even had people electrocute themselves trying to steal copper wiring from places with live wiring and falling of tall buildings while nicking lead. In the end the State made it compulsory for all scrappys to record all and any transactions. Most scappys now won't touch copper wiring/lead and such unless it's coming from a licensed contractor.
If you can find me anyone who will pay £4/kg (+VAT) for scrap brass at Bisley, in quantities of 200kg or less, I am willing to pay commission.
The last lot I sold for the NRA went for considerably less than that, and the recycler I have been in discussion with, who wants a minimum of a ton delivered to him, is my best offer and wasn't in that price range.

Don't take it to the scrapyrds. Donate it to the Tech Depts of your local school. Aluminium and other suitable alloys have become so expensive that schools can no longer afford to teach casting and the equipment now sits idle.
A few thousand old knackered cases would allow a year group to cast a small model each and in doing so learn sand casting. I regularly take in any given to me by mates and other shooters.
