Most construction sites have nighttime security to prevent the theft of copper wiring harnesses in building projects. When Europeans left some of the African countries the first thing that was dug up and stolen were metal sewer pipes and electrical wires. I guess that many weren't quite ready for progress.The Statue of Liberty is made of copper. I would not be surprised if replacing copper with cheaper metal has started in hidden parts of the structure. And there are drug addicts who specialize in burning down houses for a few hundred dollars of copper.
