Rick,
I have no formal legal training, so I'll take a stab at it:
"Legitimate" scrapping requires the permission of the property owner
or their designated agent (eg: plumbing contractor) to go onto their
land in order to haul away their unwanted metal.
Theft is when you don't have such permission, but you take their stuff
anyway because you think that no one will notice until you're too far
away for them to read your license plate number.
I believe that it's trespassing to go onto someone's property to see
if there's a lock and chain that will need to be cut.

If this is going to continue could you distinguish between something
like metal scrap recycling from stuff put out for collection - and
someone ripping off storm doors to resell as scrap.
