It's safe to say there are many thieves and low-lifes out there, and they may well be a neighbor of ours. To steal or cheat innocent people out of hard-earned money, equipment, objects is beyond pathetic, yet some seem to have no conscience about it. Gotta love the messages we dole out to society everyday through media...
Well, it's safe to say there is at least one person who is feeling a bit of 'payback' for his or her 'attempted' deeds...
Don't worry...while they monkeyed around, they
didn't change into one, though the hair may be similar...
DATELINE: London, England
Somewhere in the English countryside there is a person who is pretty messed up. No, not from dealing in the drug trade, though that could have been a secondary involvement, but from stealing copper from a utility company.
Copper prices have been on the rise for a while, and targets for copper theft here in the States have risen to a discomforting degree, as well. Construction sites, especially, have become 'hits' for metal thieves looking to turn a quick buck at recycling yards; and utility substations are also on that targeted list.
And so someone broke into a Central Networks substation near Creswell in central England and thought they would abscond with some goodly amounts of copper. I mean, how hard can it be? Cut some large wires, drag it to your van or truck, and off you go. There's only one problem.
With hacksaw in hand, along with a lit propane torch, they cut into something much more than just a wire...it was a, 11,000 volt power cable wire. Duh.
Police found the embedded hacksaw and the lit torch beside it...but there was no person or body anywhere around. Nor has anyone showed up at any of the regional hospitals with what are surely serious burns, spiked hair, and all that good stuff that comes with such electrical charges.
"At the very least putting the hacksaw through the cable would have created an almighty bang and the line would have burned for quite a few seconds, showering them with molten copper... We can only assume they left in a great hurry or they were injured and were dragged away by an accomplice," so was quoted a member of the Derbyshire police.
Alas, that's where the story ends for now. No leads, no clues, just a strong notion that somebody somewhere is one hurting puppy...assuming they're even still alive. While I don't advocate ill will on anyone, I think they got a just 'consequence' for their intended actions.
I hope you'll remember that cutting into live wires with metal instruments is a "what were you thinking?" no-no...like sticking your tongue on a sub-freezing flagpole, only with the flagpole you'll live to tell about it.
