there is suddenly so much more theft of metals. I get theft alerts in email from ISRI every week, sometimes a few per week.

4. Every one of them has seen a big jump this year |

meaning that metals prices are all tracking the true inflation rate. Aluminum alloy has gone up 50% in a little over a year, and it's inflation is modest compared to the rest.
The increase in gas prices is nothing, I'm afraid, compared to what's on the way.
We're about to live in interesting times.
