The bro sent me this story on thieves stealing downed power lines to sell the copper. I had previously written about French thieves doing the same thing back in September, but the French did it overnight in a coordinated theft, stranding several mountain villages without communication. Is the price of copper still so high, that thieves are still motivated to steal cable? If there is a theft of material, that means there has to be a buyer. Also, this stolen material has to trickle down to manufacturers. Police departments worldwide know they have to pay special attention to auto body repair shops and used car dealers because of the high theft rate for cars and their accessories. Who should the cops be looking at in these cases?
