Not being a copper thief, I have no idea. And as you are apparently not a copper thief yourself, you don't know, either.

Are you by any chance an academic?
Very unwieldy, no doubt. But not unwieldy enough to prevent people attempting to steal it. The bloke that my mate and I ran over and killed at Cringilla, while he was carrying stolen copper sheet and tin-snips, would presumably be better able to answer that question.
Suffice to say that here in Australia the theft of copper was enough of a problem to warrant changing the way copper is transported by rail, from bogie opens to containers, etc. - we don't have boxcars as you do in the US.
