Four teens were arrested for cutting an electric copper wire 250 feet long. This was near Baltimore and a lot of homes and business were without power. One teen was a girl. Had pictures of them on TV. Some of them may be eating Thanksgiving in jail. Hal
 
It's too bad they didn't get zapped and BECOME Thanksgiving dinner... for the vultures!
 
A few years back someone stole the lightning rods & braided copper ground wire off my corn crib. The bad part is they probably got $10 for it at the scrap yard. I would have given them $100 to leave it alone.
 
A guy in Omaha will likely lose his hand after trying to steal transformer. He was burned badly. I do not understand what is going on in their minds. It is like the guy around here that tried to steal a bucket on NH3.
 
Do to the amount of money this cost they may be charged with a felony. I have pictures somewhere showing men stealing a transformer. It fried them. They might delete the posting if I can find them. Hal
 
We had 2 brothers trying to steal some wiring from the top of a old cotton mill. One of them cut a main wire that electrocuted him. The other brother gathered up the all ready cut wire and left leaving his burnt brother on top of the building. After a few days while everyone was looking for the missing brother, the live one fessed up and led the authorites to him.
 
Just read in the news a dude got his hand burned real bad after he cut down a power pole to get at the transformer for the copper. His accomplice dropped him off at the hospital and took off. He might lose parts of his hand. Who will pay the hospital bill? You guessed it! Start digging into your pockets. Jim
 
Years ago in West Texas. A rancher found the remains of 4 bodies. Plus some wire. They were trying to take wire from the main transmission line.

Sad thing is the families sued and won. Because the power company didn't have signs up saying it was dangerous.
 
I just got a "bill" from the hospital for my back surgery.. Not including the surgeon, The hospital wants $ 68,250.00.... That's where they should get their money.. Yeah.. I know they don't get that much from the insurance companies, But geeeezzzz , Where do they come up with those numbers ?? 4300 bucks for the room , 1273 bucks for 2 sessions of physical therapy..28,826 for supplies......
