Thanks Bart. Pain in the azz thieves. I'd think the cost of fixing what the crooks do gets passed on to the consumer as a part of the rate we pay. And I'll guarantee that the bean counters at the phone company get every penny that they can from their customers...

More are out there: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/12/24/copper-thief-gets-business-end-of-69000-volts/ An attempted copper theft at an Eagan substation early Wednesday knocked out power for thousands of residents and sent a would-be thief to Regions Hospital. Eagan police said the 33-year-old suspect from St. Paul suffered severe burns but was in stable condition Wednesday and is expected to survive. Two other St. Paul residents found near the substation, a 28-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, were arrested on suspicion of felony criminal damage to property. They were booked at the Eagan Police Department and released. Joe Miller, a spokesman for Dakota Electric, said the injured suspect scaled a chain-link fence, cut through the barbed wire at the top and then climbed on top of a transformer, where he was injured when he came into contact with a 69,000-volt transmission line. Witnesses reported seeing a flash of light and hearing a boom at the substation before the power went out at about 12:35 a.m. About 7,100 Dakota Electric customers in western and southwestern Eagan were without power until 3 a.m. -------------------------------------------------- http://www.azcentral.com/community/...1/20100111abrk-copper-thief-suspect.htmlA man suspected of trying to steal copper from a Phoenix elementary school fell through a classroom ceiling and was found severely injured and unconscious by a teacher Monday morning, authorities said. About 800 students at Bret R. Tarver Elementary had to be moved to another school Monday. Police said the man, identified only as 43 years old, could have been in the school since Saturday. He was taken to a hospital with life-threatening head injuries, said Trent Crump, a spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department.

Thieves have been stealing us blind for a couple of years or so.I've found a few places where they had a near mis,but no bodies so far.We caught two of them a while back,doubt they will even go to trial.This has been a Nation wide problem,just google copper theft and see how bad it has gotten.These two guys won't be a problem anymore,looks like they have been recycled.

So do you have to ,.....like clean up messes like the one pictorially presented, Senor?
Tell me you get a bonus for so doing.
Is there not some way to turn the power back on and just burn 'em the rest of the way up, right there?
....use a dustbuster for final sano-work?

That is simply shocking, not to mention a watt the f moment. Terry, that's Re-VOLT-ing . . . . .

That gray-taped wire with the funnel-like things on it on the left side of the picture is one of the power lines. It's probably one of three that were up the pole. It's not supposed to be laying on the ground, and that's probably why they got burned up where they did. That line doesn't show any damage other than being out of a fuseholder or transformer on the pole, but you can bet there was some sparking and arcing going on before it ended up on the ground. You'd need pictures of more of the upper part of the pole to see exactly what they got into that caused that line to be laying on the ground...and those guys will never tell.
