Metal thieves are stripping America's cities

Los Angeles' 6th Street Bridge, known as the "Ribbon of Light," is now dark at night, and stretches of the busy 405 freeway and dozens of street blocks across the city are also affected. Thieves have been stripping copper wire from thousands of streetlights and selling it to scrap metal recyclers for cash. The blacked-out lights pose safety hazards to drivers and pedestrians and cost cities millions to repair.
