The way to nip it in the bud is to hit the scrap dealers. Make them petrified to accept metal without full provenance, and ban cash payment. I know all the arguments that this would destroy the scrap metal market, but I very much doubt an adequate cost-benefit analysis has been done. I wouldn't mind betting the industry could sort out a workable accommodation to stricter regulation. I'm normally militantly opposed to further government interference in a market, but there is a clear failure here.David Gilliesnoreply@blogger.com
