“Copper hunters” seems to be a quite lucrative job to do. I don’t know if copper makes you addicted but these ‘hunter gangs’ do not seem to be afraid even of God’s revenge when it comes to copper. A priest in a church was quite stunned to see that the copper font was stolen. The priest realized the holy font was gone, shortly before a child’s baptism. However he managed to perform the ceremony and give the child a name due to a ‘back-up’ font.
As the price of copper has soared to heights, robbers snatch everything that contains copper from sewer caps, bridges railings, transformers from factories and columns of electricity, lines and cables from the railway company and even bells from the churches! In Larisa, it was the moment to check their luck with a copper baptismal font!
Just one question: who buys this copper? Because they pay for this.
