3. Well, rehabs (housing) is one common area we saw where the wiring was stolen out of some homes

we were looking at.

Pretty common actually. The house we ended up buying had most of it's wiring stolen but that was okay, when we bought a place finally, we wanted to mostly gut/rehab it (which we did), so 90% of all the wiring was redone, along w/ a new electric box (having 3 total). I felt much better w/ that, than the original box, which everything was loaded out of it to begin w/ (so we shifted lots of loads to the other two boxes, just for safety's sake.

That's one reason why I'm glad I know a little about electric, so I can wire, etc. (but not the box itself, leave that to the experts).
