I hope they are pointed at the crooked buyers of copper scrap as much as the organized theft rings.

That's how they slowed down the metal thieves in California, they started going after the scrap metal buyers.

In 2012 BART successfully sponsored a AB 1971 to deter copper theft. The bill clarifies that the theft of nonferrous materials  from public property is an act of vandalism. It also increases the maximum fine to $1,000 for someone who knowingly buys copper without verifying that it has been legally obtained.

colorado just seems to have gotten a grip on catalytic convertor thefts, i have had 3 stolen, think it has stopped

CDOT put in these messaging signs and they stole the cableing for that a few years ago, that was a super expensive fix a few   years ago.
