An Alabama man gave his all stealing copper about 3 weeks ago. His body and evidence was found and recovered by officials. He was using a small boat, I think a canoe with an outboard.
In another robbery, just before school started in Mobile Al someone went into the school and stole copper pipe and tubing from the school chiller system.

I guess working for a living just requires to much effort Ha Ha

Every now and again, despite our society mostly arresting it, a Darwin process still manages to occur. There's one thief who won't manage to raise a bunch of little thieves.

Reminds me of freshmen dorm college days almost 20 years ago now. We had a thief that apparently had a key to our dorm room, probably one of the last students to live there, that kept stealing my roomates' stereo stuff. After the third time being ripped off and no luck getting the college to change the locks, I cut the cord from a lamp, stripped some insulation off and wrapped the hot wire around the shaft of the steel doorknob. Plugged it in before we left, and used our t-shirt as an insulator to open the door to get back in.

Sure enough, after some time went by, one night I came back and there was a key still in the lock, and some piss on the floor. All the dorm guys thought that was an evil thing to do, I thought it was just right

Sean,
Had I been there I would have been the guy helping you to strip the wire.

That is a great idea. If I was there I would have plugged the cord in for you.
