Here is a tip for anybody stealing copper...
I hear that 16k power lines give the best copper and fetch the highest prices!
Go for it!
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

Also remember to check the line to see if its live. I recommend licking or peeing on the copper first.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18777513 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 17:56:39 EDT Re: great source or cheap copper http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18776665 anon : thanks for taking all the fun out of my joke]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18776665 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 16:02:36 EDT Re: great source or cheap copper http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18776356 Kearnstd :

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 :o :D. 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.
though id be pissed if i was in a raid in WoW and some copper thieves got fried in the substation and took me offline. yes i care more about my progression in a video game then the life of a crook.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18774892 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 11:15:47 EDT Re: great source or cheap copper http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18774672 TKJunkMail :
