same here. It's pretty ridiculous. Reminds me of a story from about a month ago where thieves cut and stole $100 worth of copper piping from a food pantry here in town. The piping was part of the refrigeration system for the food so consequently over $500,000 worth of food went bad because somebody had to be an ass.

And on a more serious note, if these metals are worth "thousands of dollars an ounce," how come I can buy a cat for $200 at midas?
