Devolution of France Continues

Since the price of raw metals remains high because the communications industry keeps expanding (Oops! Globalization! Not supposed to be good thing!), heavy metal theft has not been rare. Now, France reports that industrial metal theft has increased 144 percent in 2006 from the previous year. We already knew that France was not very friendly to business, but to have to secure power lines from theft? Ridiculous.

Thanks to the bro for the tip.
