We maintain a "Solar Museum in a Box" where we save weird stuff that we pull
off older systems--melted shunts, early meters, solder joints from hell.
There's a piece of #6 USE with teeth marks from rats through to the copper.
So I know it can happen--at least in New Mexico.

P.S. to Michael and all: Sorry on the box-color post yesterday. I'm usually
more careful at self-policing.
