Judging by the dried foam on his head and the fire spread, it looks as
if these two were still alight or smouldering nicely when the emergency
services arrived.
I think it would be useful for police to consider using these images in
a warning campaign to deter metal thieves.


Even the inhabitants of Ambridge have had problems with cable thieves.
This very week, most of the village lost its broadband and telephone
connections after "200 meters" of cable was purloined. As a result, for
several days, many were temporarily reduced to a Stone Age way of
living. However, I believe that normal service had been restored by
Friday.
