I thought farmers with guns were a problem, now we have to worry about speed freaks, too?

I was reading in the latest issue of Archaeology Magazine about the spread of looting by Meth addicts and producers. Apparently, cultural resources are gaining a lot of value in the drug market.

The story is focused on the SW, but states that "tweakers" or "twiggers" (a combination of tweakers and diggers) are looting sites throughout the nation.

Users have so much excess energy, that they tend to "hoover" a site and remove everything they find.

Check it out.

The full article will most likely be available at your library. I know that BYU carries this magazine.
