I was going to post the same thing. As with many crimes, the cost to the victim in many times the reward to the criminal. For ever $ they get from the copper it probably costs the owner $50-100 to replace it. Similar to how I got my bike stolen and they tried to sell it for scrap for $10 (the junk yard called the cops and I got my bike back). It was a $900 bike.

A hacker brought down the Internet, now that’s news.

The real problem here is that people like her are still having to make ends meet by stealing copper. Something must be done about this issue.

I find it funny that they said that these occurrences are rare as if this happened before.

Sad commentary that an old woman of 75 would have to dig for scrap copper to sell in order to feed herself. Instead of crying about being internet-less, maybe we should re-focus our priorities.

Leave towm from a "nice" suburb of Detroit and come back to find all your aluminum siding and copper wire torn out. By "nice", I mean the places where people who make $50k/yr live.

[citation][nom]azcoyote[/nom]We have a "Scrap Copper" issue in AZ too.Illegals go to new building zones and steal copper wiring and sell it to the recyclers.Pretty much what this lady was doing no doubt. She just mistook the fiber for copper until she cut it I am sure...[/citation]

Give them free coper encased lead.
