"In October last year, thieves attached the lightning conductor of All
Saints Church, Little Staughton, Bedfordshire, to their vehicle and
drove away. They also brought down the top eight feet of the spire,
which destroyed a gargoyle on its way down. Repairs will cost £36,000."

A pity it didn't land on their heads, God must have had a sense of
humour failure that day.

Locally they have also stolen copper from radio station aerial sites
which can if approached in the wrong manner cause horrific RF burns. Not
to mention depriving people of radio reception until it is fixed.



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!........
