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!........


Ogrish used to have various pictures of human-shaped lumps
of charcoal up poles/pylons, having met their ends whilst
stealing HV cable. However, this was all in the 3rd world.
Welcome to Britain...
