Two days later, 1,500 pounds of cast aluminum was stolen. Then on March 15, more aluminum was stolen along with eight Apple airtags attached to the metal. Four were later recovered. Thomas says during the investigation, photos of the stolen items were sent to Alter Scrap to see if anyone had been there to sell the stolen property.
