Recently the State of Ohio has continued to move forward on it’s goals of tracking scrap metal related transactions.  According to the January 4, 2013 article in the Canton Repository (AP), the states database is coming along. “Ohio has begun testing a scrap metal sales database for the effort to curb widespread metal thefts. The Dayton Daily News reports that the Ohio Department of Public Safety is working with selected dealers to input sales information that could help identify and track thieves.” 

Tracking scrap purchases and sales on paper, obviously is not ideal and the State is implementing the database to deal with this issue. “With Ohio leading the nation in metal theft claims in one insurance industry ranking, the state took action in 2012 to require scrap metal dealers to register, and to have a database created along with a “do not buy” list. Authorities want to reduce the anonymity for illicit metal sales and also reduce the number of places where thieves can get quick cash for stolen metal.”
