There's a certain degree of darwinism... but I agree, someone so desperate doesn’t deserve death, but he’s still a thief. I’m not so sympathetic to these thieves, desperate or not. My inlaws had a nice holiday home gutted by thieves like this when it was left unattended after the maid quit. Had some poor <deleted> had electrocuted himself while gutting that house I’d feel a sense of satisfaction and no guilt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we please have a debate about precise meaning of ‘electrocuted’ because it was deleted from this thread (linked below). At least we know it wasn’t the same guy !!!...

Aussieroaming Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 No loss and not uncommon for cable thieves to perish cutting into a live copper cable, used to occur on our site at least once or twice a year when the lure of a big fat HV cable became too much to resist.

The Old Bull Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I wonder if this is the <deleted> that stole the cable to my house 200m of copper. I replaced it with aluminium but you have to ask for it as they hide it in the back of the store owing to it being many times cheaper than copper.

If they knew how to use a multimeter they’d not need to ‘thieve’ as they’d have firm career prospects being more qualified than half the nations electricians !!!!
