	Unfortunately, not only in Indiana. We've had a couple of similar incidents in a different part of Nova Scotia, where would-be thieves knocked out power by trying to cut through live wires to steal copper. They were easier to find, but not alive to press charges against. (Reply to this)

	So, there are apparently idiots in other places, but it's interesting that they're all in northern climes. Well, maybe it's something about winter that causes these attempted thieves to lose 30 IQ points, and think they can steal that copper without getting that electric chair effect. "Nope--can't happen to me..." ZZZZT!!! Yet another Darwin Award... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
