Several years ago items were stolen from the Brooklyn Roundhouse in Portland. The crook was stupid enough to leave behind evidence that got him arrested and he is now serving 3 years in jail.
The Oregon Legislature recently passed legislation that will make it more difficult to pass off stolen scrap. Identification is taken for both the individual and the vehicle. In addition, payment is delayed for a week and a check (not cash) can only be sent to an address, not a post office box. This makes Oregon's laws and Washington's identical. No skipping across the Columbia River to escape regulations.
