1 edit | reply to DontTryAtHome It's Darwinian selection in action. Thinning the herd and all that.
Seriously, I sympathize with family of those who are killed, injured or imprisoned. And one can't rule out some cases of economic desperation. But when thieves suffer because they're stealing wires, in some cases wires that are carrying electric power, it's some combination of natural selection and karma. |

| reply to DontTryAtHome Just imagine their surprise if they managed to pull down a HV or EHV line (and lived) only to find out it is aluminum and not copper . Same goes if they broke into a sub-station or power plant and stole the wrong reel of wire. Course they'd have to be near a sub-station to find lines like that as most of the distribution to homes and cities is copper. |

Go for it! Also remember to check the line to see if its live. I recommend licking or peeing on the copper first. |

Actually nearly all HV lines are aluminum but copper thieves may be too stupid to know that. The lines of high-voltage transmission systems are usually composed of wires of copper, aluminum, or copper-clad or aluminum-clad steel -- Visit- www.liveleak.com/view?i=ec4_1174876351 |
