Given the amount of mindless thefts you would think it was worth stealing -
if you look at the price of new pipe in the Screwfix catalogue it makes you
realise how mindless it is to put people at risk by ripping a few metres of
gas pipe off a building.

The press doesn't help though when it quotes the cost of the repair ("Damage
costing £5,000 was done when pipe was stolen as copper prices rise!!!).
Maybe £5,000 for a council team to fix - but the pipe was only worth a bout
£1.50.



Its happening all over.. Railways, Water companies, Churches and
especially communications sites. The other week the scrotes set fire to
a telecoms mast to burn the plastic off the copper cables and when
ripping them out they bent the tower with the force they used around 100
K to re instate over 90% of out local water co have had sites where
fittings have been nicked for damaged.

However one of them was electrocuted in Lincolnshire after attempting to
get the cables off an 11 kV overhead line!........
