World has always been like that. Old ladies are not supposed to live to 80 unless they are filthy rich.
[citation][nom]MattMock[/nom]Copper thieves are real scum. They cause massive damage for a small amount of scrap copper and usually target people who can least afford it.[/citation]
We have them alot here. They are of a specific ethnicity - gypsies. Who's only business is to steal, fraud, drug trafficking and prostitution (it depends on the gypsy cast).
They steal all kinds of metals especially copper. And when caught they've learned to scream that they are so oppressed and that they have no rights. The international community when they hear their complaints immediately give accusations: "You bastards stop oppressing the poor gypsies." Of course without knowing the real situation. But no country wants to take them.
Gypsies don't like to push themselves and work but it is no problem for them to pull out 1000 feet of buried copper cable.
It's not uncommon for them to collect miles of unpowered copper cables. That's why the local power company is forced to power the cables preventively.
But some human rights activists called this inhuman because that could kill gypsies.
Hahah... The world is so funny!
[citation][nom]aliened[/nom]come on... give her a brake! She's almost 80 years old, I'm sure that with all this fuss going on she had a good lesson on not stealing any more cable =/[/citation]
Well, a local idiot decided to dig out the main optic cable just to see where it is and of course he damaged it a little. And he was a senior too.
